Chatter here in PA over a surprise geological find.

As you know PA was key- coal-oil lumber, steel gateway to the west.

Perplexing they just discovered this Natural gas reserve.

That's an interesting find, but fracturing needs to be done with care, lest you start damaging aquifers.

Looks like it's been known, but the yields were unpredictable. Estimates based on secondary recovery methods like fracturing are what upped the numbers.
