The Permian Basin, located in western Texas, is one of the world\u2019s most prolific oil and gas fields, while the Eagle Ford Shale, in southern Texas, is a key contributor to natural gas production. The state\u2019s advanced drilling techniques, such as hydraulic fracturing (fracking) and horizontal drilling, have enabled the extraction of these resources from shale rock. Texas plays a crucial role in the U.S. energy landscape, providing a significant portion of the country\u2019s oil and natural gas production.","mcq_options":[{"right":"yes","answer":"Texas"},{"right":"no","answer":"Oklahoma"},{"right":"no","answer":"North Dakota"},{"right":"no","answer":"Pennsylvania"}],"multi_answers":"no","subject_terms":[{"id":1846,"title":"Geography of the United States","slug":"geography-of-the-united-states"}],"topic_terms":[{"id":1759,"title":"Energy Sources in the United States","slug":"energy-sources-in-the-united-states"},{"id":1756,"title":"Natural Resources in the United States","slug":"natural-resources-in-the-united-states"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq\/11373","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/mcq"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3502"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11373"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11373"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=11373"},{"taxonomy":"subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subject?post=11373"},{"taxonomy":"education_level","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/education_level?post=11373"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
