As of November, 2008 there were at least 1,800 leases signed in Wayne County, Pennsylvania. It is one of the hotspots in Marcellus shale development.

Most of these leases were signed in areas north of Honesdale, covering a broad swathe of the northern section of the county including the townships and boroughs of Bethany, Buckingham, Scott, Clinton, Damascus, Dyberry, Lebanon, Manchester, Mount Pleasant, Oregon, Preston, and Starrucca.

In January, 2009 there was a report of seismic testing being conducted by Dawson Geophysical Co. in Wayne County and environs. The study area seemed to stretch north to Lakewood and Equinunk and south to Owego Turnpike by Canaan Township, and going from Hawley to Cherry Ridge. Also Texas Township's Beech Grove Road was included. Other areas mentioned include Route 590 in Paupack Township, in Lakewood Routes 247 and 370, and a region southeast of Lake Wallenpaupack in Pike County that encompasses Blooming Grove Twp.

Chesapeake Appalachia, a subsidiary of Chesapeake Energy Corp., holds the lion’s share of the leases - nearly 1,500 in all.
