ST. MARYS, W.Va. -- Oil and natural gas producer Trans Energy says it's begun drilling its second Marcellus Shale well.
The St. Marys-based company says work on the Wetzel County well is expected to continue through 2009.
The 6,000-foot-thick Marcellus Shale is believed to hold 50 trillion cubic feet of recoverable natural gas from upstate New York, across Pennsylvania into eastern Ohio and across most of West Virginia.
Trans Energy has 271 oil and gas wells and approximately 26,000 acres under lease in West Virginia and holds interests in oil and gas leases in Kansas.
