The Marcellus Shale: Building a Stronger, More Secure America

The Marcellus Formation
(also classified as the Marcellus Subgroup of the Hamilton Group, Marcellus Member of the Romney Formation, or simply the Marcellus Shale) is a unit of marine sedimentary rock found in eastern North America. Named for a distinctive outcrop near the village of Marcellus, New York in the United States, it extends throughout much of the Appalachian Basin. The shale contains largely untapped natural gas reserves, and its proximity to the high-demand markets along the East Coast of the United States makes it an attractive target for energy development...
Marcellus Shale Overview
The Marcellus Shale formation can be found beneath about 60 percent of Pennsylvania's total land mass, where it is buried to depths of up to 9,000 feet. The most prospective areas for natural gas production are where the shale is present at least 5,000 feet below ground surface. The thickness of the shale formation in regions where drilling may be feasible range between 50-250 feet. Geologists use a number of tools to determine where the formation may have the best potential to produce natural gas, and how to best extract it.
