Trenton-Black River (TBR)

The Trenton-Black River (TBR) is a geological formation. It extends underneath the Appalachian Basin, from Kentucky through Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania and into upstate New York and southwestern Ontario.

Contracting note: One can obtain an interest in TBR that would be separate from Marcellus Shale and other sections.

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 and stretches north to the Province of Quebec, Canada. There is far less heard about it than the Marcellus shale, because the latter is a much larger formation stretching across several states.

Huron Shale

The Huron shale is a play in Southern West Virginia that is shallower than the Marcellus shale at the 4000 or 5000 feet level. Most of the wells in this formation are horizontal ones.
