Fracking the Utica Shales

Fracking the Utica Shales
Lisbon, Ohio (OH), US
Fracking the Utica Shales in progress. Typical configuration of truck trailers injecting a mixture of water, sand, and chemicals to fracture a layer of rock so gas or oil can be removed.

This area of the Utica Shales is likely gas extraction; in reference to the attached map. A little further north is an oil layer. Marcellus Shales to the east.
