Science Daily: USGS estimates 20 billion barrels of oil in Texas' Wolfcamp Shale Formation
The Wolfcamp shale in the Midland Basin portion of Texas' Permian Basin province contains an estimated mean of 20 billion barrels of oil, 16 trillion cubic feet of associated natural gas, and 1.6 billion barrels of natural gas liquids, according to an assessment by the U.S. Geological Survey. This estimate is for continuous (unconventional) oil, and consists of undiscovered, technically recoverable resources.
- Science Daily from a study by the United States Geological Survey
Just as 'inner city' is Republican slang for a ghetto, 'technically recoverable resources' means fuck the earthquakes, let's get fracking.
Just in case you're not sure they're talking about fracking:
Continuous oil and gas is dispersed throughout a geologic formation rather than existing as discrete, localized occurrences, such as those in conventional accumulations. Because of that, continuous resources commonly require special technical drilling and recovery methods, such as hydraulic fracturing.

This one sounds like it was written by company scientists but USGS did it so all the more surprise at the whitewashing of the fracking industry in which there is zero mention of any consequence to fracking.
