How much gas is in the Marcellus shale?
The U.S. Geological Survey estimates the Marcellus contains about 84 Tcf of undiscovered, technically recoverable natural gas. Undiscovered resources are estimated using geologic knowledge, while technically recoverable resources may be produced using currently available technology. Improvements in drilling techniques are likely to increase the potential gas resources.
