Abstract
The Marcellus shale resource play is being actively drilled and developed in western Virginia and western Maryland. The Conasauga and Floyd shale sequences/equivalents exist in Georgia. The Floyd/Neal shale sequence is productive in Alabama. East Tennessee and northern Alabama produce oil and gas and need more exploration. The Chattanooga shale in Tennessee is a prolific oil source rock. Unconventional shale gas potential from the Chattanooga shale in Tennessee is a strong possibility.
