OIL & GAS RECRUITMENT SOLUTIONS IN THE MARCELLUS AND UTICA SHALE FORMATIONS

Bedrock delivers expert contract and direct-hire recruitment solutions for the oil & gas sector across the Marcellus and Utica shale formations, two of the most prolific natural gas plays in the United States located in the Appalachian Basin. These hydrocarbon-bearing formations represent an enormous opportunity for energy production and skilled workforce development. We provide tailored consulting services to operators and contractors working throughout the region, with an in-depth understanding of the technical needs and workforce demands in this resource-rich area.

The Marcellus shale formation, classified as a “super giant gas field,” spans across Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, and parts of New York and Maryland, nearly a mile deep beneath the Appalachians. Below is the Utica shale, a deeper, high-pressure formation holding oil and natural gas reserves. Our extensive state coverage enables our team to connect skilled contractors with major complexes and facilities in the region, supporting the construction of major pipelines and infrastructure to move natural gas to key markets.
