The Starlight Marcellus Shale prospect is a 3,000 acre contiguous block
located in Northeastern Pennsylvania available for natural gas exploration.
This unleased acreage located in Scott and Buckingham Townships at the
very north end of Wayne County is detailed in the geologic overview
outlined in this presentation.
This acreage is 28 miles northeast of the Cabot Oil & Gas Dimock, Pa.
Marcellus Shale field which is currently producing 100 mmcfg/d.
The prospect acreage would appear to be in the over-pressured dry gas
window with Marcellus Shale greater than 200 API shale thickness of
approximately 150 feet at 4,100 feet below sea level. Data would suggest
that the Marcellus total organic carbon content is between 3 and 4 percent
with thermal maturity Ro values between 2.5 and 2.75.
The data outlined in this report make this prospect a compelling
opportunity. Please see the summary bullet points are outlined at the end
of this presentation.
