Wednesday, April 10, 2019
Merrion Oil & Gas, a New Mexico-based exploration and production business, recently announced plans for a flagship project with U.S. Steel near Pittsburgh, according to Kallanish Energy.
Merrion plans on drilling unconventional natural gas wells at U.S. Steel’s Edgar Thomson Works south of Pittsburgh in the Marcellus Shale. The project includes up to six wells that would be roughly 6,000 feet deep with laterals between 8,500 and 10,000 feet long. State regulators are reviewing plans for the project.
The project also includes two access roads, five freshwater storage tanks and pipelines for natural gas and fresh water, according to Merrion’s two-page fact sheet.

Shale FAQ
What are mineral rights?
Mineral rights are the rights of the owner of the property to mine or produce any resources below the surface of the property. Mineral rights are different from surface rights.
Will I get free natural gas if I allow fracking on my property?
Maybe. It depends on your particular lease agreement. Some companies allow property owners a yearly free gas allowance. But, the process of connecting your property to the gas source may be more complicated. Some companies will provide a hookup, others require the landowner to provide one.
