Ohio Shale Play
Although oft overused in politics, “game changer” is a term that has been applied almost universally by industry, academia and executives across a wide spectrum to the potential of the Marcellus, Utica and Point Pleasant shale plays of the Appalachian basin. The technological advancements that allow for the economic extraction of energy-rich fuels and feedstocks from the shale formations beneath Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia will bring:
- stable prices and supply of clean-burning, reliable energy for the nation;
- benefit to consumers, especially Midwest manufacturers and the petrochemical industry; and
-
sustainable economic development and future certainty for the upper Appalachian region.
