The Marcellus Shale Committee (MSC) today announced the launch of its new Web site, www.PaMarcellus.com, which will serve as an information resource for people interested in learning about the development of natural gas from the Marcellus Shale formation in Pennsylvania.
"Our Web site provides an opportunity for Pennsylvanians to learn about all aspects of producing natural gas from the Marcellus Shale," said Ray Walker, MSC Co-Chair and Vice President of Appalachia Shale for Range Resources. "Whether you are interested in learning more about the property leasing process, drilling procedures or land restoration efforts, all of the details will be available on the site."
The site provides a full range of information on the Marcellus Shale formation, how natural gas is extracted from the shale while protecting the environment, why MSC values the communities where its members do business, and the opportunities that the Commonwealth and its residents can realize in the coming years and decades through natural gas exploration and production.

"We will continually update this resource as development of the Marcellus Shale increases in the state of Pennsylvania over the coming years," said Rich Weber, Co-Chair of the MSC and President of Atlas Energy Resources. "As more natural gas drilling activity occurs, we want www.PaMarcellus.com to serve as a fact-focused information source for individuals and communities across the Commonwealth."
