The Story
In 2011, Chesapeake Energy, Inc. officially announced their
discovery of a liquids rich play now known as the Utica Shale. Invited by Chesapeake to participate in what
could be the greatest supply of oil and natural gas since the discovery of
Marcellus Shale, CBC Pipeline officially opened another extension office, in Carrollton, Ohio, in October 2011.
