The main issue with the Utica is its over mature through most of its extent. Organic matter matures into hydrocarbons by a combination of heat, pressure and time. The Marcellus, although an oil prone soure rock, is in the late stage of maturity, producing mostly gas where its more deeply buried, with some liquids where its shallower. The Utica is older and deeper, so its been in an even hotter oven about 60 million years longer. Through most of PA at least, its burnt to a crisp. Going northwest into OH though, the Utica is not as deeply buried, so its still has some hydrocarbon potential. But as one of the old timers used to say, 'dry as a popcorn fart.'
