Welcome to GoMarcellusShale (GMS) community, the best conversation on the web about the Marcellus and Utica shale plays.
Here are 2 great ways to jump in: join a County Group. These are the best places to discuss local activity AND/OR jump in on the Newbie thread, where newcomers are introducing themselves to talk about their interest in shale and are being shown the ropes from more senior members.

Best,
Anna Mauck, Member Services
