The Utica Shale extends from Quebec to Kentucky, running thousands of feet below the Marcellus shale<\/a> throughout parts of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and across the Canadian border. Although it was named after the city of Utica, New York, where it outcrops, or appears on the surface of the earth, in most places the Utica shale is present thousands of feet below the earth’s surface, making the oil and natural gas it contains expensive to obtain.<\/p>\n

Geologists believe that the oil and gas potential of the Utica shale could be as big as the huge Marcellus shale, the largest source of natural gas that has been discovered in the United States. The Utica Shale is also one of the biggest gas fields, or plays, in Canada, which it is estimated to contain over 20 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.<\/p>\n
