Extraction of natural gas from Marcellus Gas Shale is the intended purpose here. No well at this location however.
This staging area alongside Pine Creek pumps water into the waiting tankers. Filled tankers haul water to the well site.
Water is injected deep underground to fragment (frack) shale which allows gas to escape to the surface. The sign states the water withdrawal limits.
