Marcellus Shale (MS)
During 2008 very active leasing activity took place by companies speculating on the eventual production of prolific amounts of natural gas from the Marcellus shale formation. It is part of a larger development of shale oil and gas plays throughout North America sometimes referred to as the shale sweepstakes. There are still many research issues relating to the exploration of this formation.
In excess of twenty oil and gas companies are planning to invest $700 million during 2008 in developing the Marcellus Shale. Up to half of the total will be in Pennsylvania.

Utica Shale
The Utica shale is located in New York State in Herkimer and Oneida counties. There is far less heard about it than the Marcellus shale, because the latter is a much larger formation stretching across several states.
