Trans Energy Inc. has begun drilling its fourth natural gas well in the Marcellus shale in Marshall County.
The company announced Tuesday that it has completed drilling the vertical portion of the well to a depth of about 6,500 feet. A second, larger rig is scheduled to drill the horizontal portion.
Company President and CEO James K. Abcouwer says the company has drilled four vertical Marcellus wells and one horizontal Marcellus well in northern West Virginia.
It also has partially drilled the vertical sections of three horizontal Marcellus wells in Wetzel and Marshall counties.
The company is targeting Wetzel, Marion and Marshall counties, believed to be the heart of the most prolific natural gas resource in Appalachia.
