Bridgeport, West Virginia-based PDC Mountaineer, LLC (PDCM JV) is a joint venture (JV) that was announced in November, 2009 by Petroleum Development Corp (dba PDC Energy) and private equity firm Lime Rock Partners. It was to focus on the Marcellus shale region.

PDC contributed acreage, producing properties, reserves and gathering facilities all valued at $158.5 million. This was to consist in part of 115,000 net acres in the Appalachian Basin with 55,000 that were prospective for Marcellus shale.
