Marcellus Core Areas Differentiated

The Middle Devonian Marcellus Shale has become one doozy of a gas play. In fact, it’s one of the premier shale gas plays of North America in terms of total gas resource, extent, production rates and economic potential, according to AAPG member Bill Zagorski, vice president of geology for the Southpointe, Pa., Marcellus shale division at Range Resources, which pioneered the play.

Petroleum Reserves and Resources Forum

As the world heads toward what could be a significant shortfall in energy supply relative to demand, it is more important than ever for our industry to help stakeholders understand the contribution of the hydrocarbon sector in balancing that energy equation. To do that, the industry needs individuals who can find, exploit, and appropriately assess reserves and resources. The AAPG DPA – SPE OGRC Petroleum Reserves and Resources Forum will help decision makers better understand the energy resource picture, and help interpreters and investors make more accurate reserve and resource assessments.
