Marcellus Formation - Wikipedia
WEBThe Marcellus Formation or the Marcellus Shale is a Middle Devonian age unit of sedimentary rock found in eastern North America. Named for a distinctive outcrop near the village of Marcellus, New York, in the United States, [3] it extends throughout much of the Appalachian Basin. [4] [5] [6]

WEBThe Marcellus Shale, also referred to as the Marcellus Formation, is a Middle Devonian-age, black, low-density, carbonaceous (organic-rich) shale that occurs in the subsurface beneath much of Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and New York.
Marcellus natural gas trend - Wikipedia
WEBThe Marcellus natural gas trend is a large geographic area of prolific shale gas extraction from the Marcellus Shale or Marcellus Formation, of Devonian age, in the eastern United States. [2] The shale play encompasses 104,000 square miles and stretches across Pennsylvania and West Virginia, and into eastern Ohio and western New York. [3]
WEBThe “new” Marcellus shale play began in 2003, when Range Resources drilled a well through the Marcellus down to the Lower Silurian in Washington County, Pennsylvania. Targeted reservoirs were not productive, but the Marcellus showed promise and was successfully completed in 2004.
WEBThe Marcellus Middle Devonian-age organic-rich formation, also known as Marcellus Shale, extends in the subsurface from New York State in the north to northeastern Kentucky and Tennessee in the south and is the most prolific natural gas-producing formation in the Appalachian basin.
