Utica Shale Results Starting to be Measured Against Predictions

From Crain's Cleveland Business:
As the temperature drops and fall approaches, we start to think about the fall harvest. Falls is usually associated with picking apples, but this year we're picking data from new Utica shale wells to see if it supports our projected economic outcomes for Ohio.
