-=== Trenton-Black River (TBR) ===+[[Main_Page|WikiMarcellus -- Marcellus Shale and Other Appalachian Plays]]
- +
-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]].+
