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.

In excess of twenty oil and gas companies hare planning to invest $700 million during 2008 in developing the Marcellus Shale. Up to half of the total will be in Pennsylvania.
