Geologic Setting

Key geologic parameters across Ultra’s acreage position indicate the potential for successful horizontal Marcellus exploration.

    • 150 – 250 feet Marcellus thickness
    • Dry gas window
    • 4,000 – 8,500 feet Marcellus depth
    • High reservoir pressure
    • Good silica content
    • 125,000 Mcf per acre volume of shale gas generated
    • Present day hydrocarbon index indicates <60 mgHc/gTOC
