The Marcellus Shale is a sedimentary rock formation deposited over 350 million years ago in a shallow inland sea located in the eastern United States where the present-day Appalachian Mountains now stand. This shale contains significant quantities of natural gas. New developments in drilling technology, along with higher wellhead prices, have made the Marcellus Shale an important natural gas resource. This book explores water resources and natural gas production from the Marcellus Shale; the impact of Marcellus Shale gas play on current and future Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) activities; and, applying this technology to solve America’s energy challenges.
