THE MARCELLUS MATURES

摘要

It is phase-shift time for the Marcellus shale. Like the Eagle Ford, Fayetteville and Hay-nesville shales before it, the play is rapidly evolving, from delineation and optimization into a resource harvest phase. And Marcellus operators are adjusting to the region's fluid economic and regulatory conditions, according to a panel of two long-time Appalachian Basin operators and a recent E&P start-up. Representatives of the three firms shared perspectives during Hart Energy's fourth annual DUG East Conference and Exhibition in Pittsburgh in mid-November.
