Mi aiutate a capire il significato di "plays" e "shale" in questo contesto?

Leveraging the experience and the expertise gained in the Barnett Shale, Devon Energy has now expanded its shale resources into Arkoma-Woodford, Cana-Woodford, and Haynesville plays in the U.S. and into Canada's Horn River play in British Columbia.

Explanation:
play indica una combinazione di fattori geologici, stratigrafici e/o strutturali, che possono determinare la formazione di accumuli di petrolio. NB: in assenza di una favorevole valutazione economica un play non esiste.
