Young and Restless: The Marcellus Shale Shows Great Promise

摘要

The Appalachian Basin's Marcellus is living up to its potential as one of the nation's top-tier shale-gas reservoirs. That is the conclusion of presenters in UGcenter.com's recent Marcellus shale webinar, which is available on demand now at http://www.ugcenter.com/Events/Webinars/0512Marcellus/. The kick-off speaker was Randy Wright, founder of Nashville-based reservoir engineering firm Wright & Co. Inc. "The Marcellus is not a new zone; it's just the latest unconventional oil and gas play in the Appalachian Basin," said Wright. He noted the Marcellus covers 65 million acres, sprawls across portions of eight states, and is the largest U.S. shale play in area and in potential.
