Trenton-Black River

From Wikimarcellus

The Trenton-Black River (TBR for short) is a deep natural gas formation found underneath New York State and stretching to the southwest as far as West Virginia. In New York the TBR has gas-rich pockets that lay under the Utica shale in western New York and parts of the Southern Tier of the State.

It consists of large pockets of natural gas around 10,000 feet down; that is approximately two miles below surface.

The formation has been under development in Steuben County for several years, Grace said, and most of the work on the deposit is near Corning and Caton.
