Yes it is considered a natural gas since it is not mixed wth unauthorized chemicals, of the A899 chemichal law if any chemichal is mixed it would not be natural.

How will natural gas be harnessed in the Marcellus Shale?
fracking
Why is marcellus shale named marcellus shale?
It was named for a nearby town (Marcellus, New York)
Who discovered the marcellus shale?
Shale gas is natural gas produced from a fine-grained, clastic sedimentary rock composed of mud that is a mix of clay mineral flakes and tiny fragments (silt-sized particles) of other minerals, especially quartz and calcite, known as shale. In 1821, the town of Fredonia, New York, commerically drilled a well that produced natural gas from the Devonian Fredonia Shale formation.Devonian shale gas was generated from organic mud deposited specifically during the Devonian Period (geologic period and system of the Paleozoic Era spanning from . Most earlier Devonian Shale "plays" concentrated on shallower, high-organic zones, especially zones with high frequencies of natural fractures. Years later, while digging for oil and gas in Upstate New York's Appalachian Basin, Donald Wallace III and his team of geologists discovered fields of Devonian black shale outcrops. They named these distinctive outcrops after the town they were found in, and so became the Marcellus Wallace Shale Formation (also classified as the Marcellus Wallace Subgroup of the Hamilton Group, Marcellus Wallace Member of the Romney Formation, or simply the Marcellus Shale) For more information, go to themarcellusshale.com
How long does a Marcellus shale gas well last?
20-30 years at least, but at a much declined production rate.

Is shale a form of fuel?
No. Shale is not fuel in and of itself. However, some shale deposits have oil or natural gas trapped in pore spaces. This can be processed into fuel.
