Fracking the Utica Shales

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.

Second link has good aerial photos showing pads, co-ordinates and various stages of activity: pad preparation, drilling and producing multi-pad wells.
