Tech/Engineering - Petrochemie, Technik/Wissenschaft / natural gas exploration | | Englisch Begriff oder Satz: blanket gas sand | "The energy industry is expecting considerable expansion over the next five-plus years in terms of exploration, new drilling activity and refurbishment of existing wells in southeast Alberta. This in an area rich in *** shallow blanket gas sand ***and is the target area XXX has chosen to make as one of the core areas for the company and a launching ground to other regional prospects."
Ernst and Routledge both suggest 'Schutzgas' for blanket gas, but I am not sure if this would apply here. I also eagerly checked my brandnew little dictionary on 'Bohr-,Foerder- und Offshore Technik' (thanks again, Steffen!) but to no avail. I would really be very grateful for an explanation/translation of this term. TIA.

What I've seen for "blanket gas" really doesn't seem to fit here.
But what about "parsing" the compound differently? Maybe that makes sense here.
There is something called "blanket sand":
A blanket deposit of sand or sandstone of unusually wide distribution, typically an orthoquartzitic sandstone deposited by a transgressive sea advancing for a considerable distance over a stable shelf area; e.g., the St. Peter Sandstone of the East-Central United States. Syn: sheet sand; blanket sandstone.

There is also the term "gas sand":
gas sand
1. n. [Geology] ID: 226
A porous sand layer or sand body charged with natural gas.
See: oil sand, sandstone
http://www.glossary.oilfield.slb.com/Display.cfm?Term=gas%20...
The term "blanket":
blanket deposit
a. A horizontal, tabular orebody; manto; bedded vein. AGI
b. A sedimentary deposit of great areal extent and relatively uniform
thickness; esp. a blanket sand and associated limestones.
See also:blanket; blanket vein.

If this interpretation is possible, the term "shallow blanket gas sand" would refer to a thin (shallow) layer of gas sand covering a wide area like a blanket. :-)

| oberflächennaher Kissengassand
Erklärung:
"Oberflächennah" should be OK for "surface". Gas sand is simply "Gassand" (see among others "Wörterbuch der Bohr-, Förder- und Offshoretechnik") and I've seen blanket gas referred to as "Kissengas".
So something along these lines should be what you're looking for.
