About the Guide

Sundance Energy is an independent educational project covering oil, natural gas, energy markets, and the changing energy system.

Please note. Sundance Energy (sundanceenergy.net) is an independent educational resource and is not affiliated with, and cannot answer for, any company — past or present — that may operate under a similar name. We cannot provide investment, financial, legal, engineering, or other professional advice, and we do not buy, sell, or broker energy or securities. For those matters, please consult a qualified, licensed professional.

How the Material Is Organized

Start with oil & gas basics, then move through exploration, shale resources, energy basins, natural gas, markets, and the energy transition. Energy Insights adds topical context, and the glossary defines unfamiliar terms.

Sources and Limits

The guides favor agency datasets, official reports, and peer-reviewed research. Figures and market conditions can change, so dated claims should be checked against the linked primary source. The about page explains the editorial approach in more detail.
