Reliance Industries will invest $1.7 billion in a project in the United States for extracting gas from shale, a sedimentary rock, in joint venture with Atlas Energy Inc.

In its first-ever break through in the United States, Reliance Industries Limited on Friday said its subsidiary Reliance Marcellus LLC would enter into a joint venture with United States-based Atlas Energy.
