The Troll A natural gas production platform in the North Sea, 80 km (50 miles) northwest of Bergen, Norway. Troll A, the largest movable structure ever built, rests on the seafloor some 300 metres (990 feet) below the surface and rises more than 100 metres (330 feet) above the sea. The platform regulates the recovery of gas from 40 wells located on the seafloor.
The Marcellus Shale is the largest natural gas basin in the United States. It is located primarily under most of Pennsylvania, while also extending northeast into New York and southwest into Ohio and West Virginia.1
