Marcellus Shale Continues to Lead US Unconventional Gas Charge

摘要

The Marcellus Shale in the Northeast US is expected to remain the undisputed champion of unconventional gas production over the next several years, with output potentially reaching 20 billion cubic feet per day as early as 2018, up nearly two-thirds from current levels, according to consult.ancy Wood Mackenzie. The Marcellus' current 12 Bcf/d of unconventional output stems from roughly 5,000 wells located predominantly in two emerging cores: Northeast Pennsylvania and Southeast Pennsylvania/West Virginia, Woodmac research analyst Jeanie Oudin tells Natural Gas Week.
