Range Resources Celebrates 20th Anniv. of Very First Marcellus Well

What seemed like a failed exploration in the early 2000s turned into a global economic and geological treasure that helped turn the U.S. into the largest natural gas producer in the world. Thanks to the grit, determination, and belief that there was more to explore, the Range Resources team of 2004 successfully completed the first viable Marcellus Shale exploratory well – the Renz #1 – in Mt. Pleasant Township, Washington County, PA. Range personnel and other officials gathered earlier this week to mark the anniversary and view a new historical landmark plaque that will be installed at the Renz well site next spring.
