This page will provide a look at
some of the equipment involved with a gas well. Several different
photos of Marcellus gas wells are featured on this photo page. More
photos of gas wells will be added to this website as they become
available. We'll
also take a look at drilling pads, gas well roadways and excavation
work related to Marcellus gas drilling.
