Cambria County, Pennsylvania is located in the south central portion of the state, and encompasses the City of Johnstown metropolitan statistical area. Indiana and Westmoreland counties are immediately to its west, and Clearfield county is north.

As of December, 2010 Marcellus shale drilling has been sparse with most of the leasing concentrated in the northern district of the county that borders Clearfield Co. As of this writing only four wells had been drilled. These were located in Adams, Cambria, Clearfield and Jackson Townships. Four drilling permits had been issued during the fall of 2010. Two wells were planned in the Bens Creek area of Portage Township and apparently two more in Washington Township. Land outside the Cambria Co. prison near Ebensburg was also being considered as a potential drilling site.

One reason cited for lack of development in Cambria Co. was the lack of gas transmission lines. The closest is a Texas Eastern line that begins in Indiana Co., parallels State Route 22 as far as Lilly, then continues on into Blair Co. Spectra Energy has a large underground natural gas storage facility in the Clearville area.
