Great article...except one thing is wrong...saying, "One of the uncertainties regarding the Utica Shale is its "fracturability."" That isn't correct...as both TLM and FST have already proven that they can frac the rock quite easily. I asked that question specifically to Jason, and he said that risk has been taken out.

I also like how they say, "In time, techniques will evolve to establish the optimal extraction methods specific to the Utica Shale."

Like I said, each play is diff and it takes time to tweak the drilling, but they have done it for many shale plays across the continent and this is no different.
