Estimated Ultimate Recovery (EUR)

Estimated Ultimate Recovery (EUR) is a large-scale drawing produced using shale from the Marcellus Formation, a geologic unit that spans much of the Appalachian Basin. Formed 400 million years ago under an inland sea, contemporary associations with the formation revolve around natural resource extraction. Estimated Ultimate Recovery (EUR) is the measure the oil and gas industry uses to calculate the amount of resource recoverable from a given reserve or well, with the work engaging the timescale and polarity of the material. The two-part work includes a 132 x 168" drawing and a newsprint of curated research on hydraulic fracturing available for public distribution.
