HOW CLOSE CAN THEY DRILL TO MY LAND?

It depends on the laws of your state. In Pennsylvania (and West Virginia?), there are different laws for different well depths. The Marcellus is considered shallow, and there are no setback rules for shallow wells. They can drill right at the property line. In New York, there are field spacing laws and forced unitization.
