The Marcellus natural gas trend is a large geographic area of prolific shale gas extraction from the Marcellus Shale or Marcellus Formation, of Devonian age, in the eastern United States. [2] The shale play encompasses 104,000 square miles and stretches across Pennsylvania and West Virginia, and into eastern Ohio and western New York. [ 3 ]
The Marcellus Formation or the Marcellus Shale is a Middle Devonian age unit of sedimentary rock found in eastern North America. Named for a distinctive outcrop near the village of Marcellus , New York , in the United States , [ 3 ] it extends throughout much of the Appalachian Basin .
US shale gas basins, 2011. Shale gas in the United States is an available source of unconventional natural gas.Led by new applications of hydraulic fracturing technology and horizontal drilling, development of new sources of shale gas has offset declines in production from conventional gas reservoirs, and has led to major increases in reserves of U.S. natural gas.
The company owes it all to the Marcellus Shale. It's a similar story. Range Resources recently announced its third quarter production has jumped to 960 million cubic feet equivalent per day. That ...

Derrick and platform of drilling gas wells in Marcellus Shale – Pennsylvania. Shale gas was first extracted as a resource in Fredonia, New York, in 1821, [16] [17] in shallow, low-pressure fractures. Horizontal drilling began in the 1930s, and in 1947 a well was first fracked in the U.S. [3]
