This presentation was made to the West Virginia Land and Mineral Owners Association by Philip A. Dinterman in 2017.  The slides include a lot of information, but it sure would have been interesting to hear the actual presentation and discussion.  The long and short of it is that the Rogersville Shale is very likely to produce a lot of natural gas when companies get around to drilling into it, but it’s very expensive and hasn’t been well explored as yet so companies are hesitant to throw a lot of resources at it.
