There
has been a lot of discussion about the development of oil and natural gas
resources from the Marcellus shale. But precious little of that
discussion has focused on the economic benefits associated with Marcellus oil
and natural gas reserves.
What,
exactly, are the economic benefits associated with Marcellus shale
development? Are there economic benefits being accrued that affect
businesses and industries beyond the oil and gas industry?
The
Oil and Natural Gas Industry Labor-Management Committee set out to uncover some
of those answers by commissioning a study through the Institute for
Construction Economics Research (ICERES). The foremost conclusion is that
Marcellus shale development in Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, and Ohio
“has been a strong engine of job growth” in the local construction industries
in those states.
