The Hugoton gas field, discovered in 1927, is a vast natural gas reserve located in the panhandles of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas in the United States. It has an estimated ultimate recovery of 1.5 trillion cubic meters (53 trillion cubic feet) of gas, with about 65 percent already produced. Over 10,000 wells have been drilled in this field, which spans a 400-km (250-mile) trend and produces from Permian limestones and dolomites. The Hugoton field is part of the High Plains region, an area known for its grassland, cattle ranching, farming, and extraction of natural gas and petroleum.12
