New Economic Report from PSU shows 98,000 new jobs for PA and a $14.17 billion potential impact from Marcellus Shale development by 2010

The House Natural Gas Caucus, a bi-partisan group of 56 legislators from across Pennsylvania, announced the findings of Penn State study that was compiled with economic data provided by the member companies of the Marcellus Shale Committee.  

The study estimates that the Marcellus Shale may contain 2,445 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserves in place with recoverable reserves amounting to 489 trillion cubic feet – or enough natural gas to last the entire United States for more than 20 years.

Penn College of Technology graduates and new Chief employees Amanda Kennedy (pictured below) and Patrick Moriarity were highlighted in the Penn College of Technology newsletter article titled Penn College Alumni among local pioneers in gas exploration.  

Amanda is a midstream operator for Chief's pipeline subsidiary, Chief Gathering, where she operates and monitors Chief's compressor stations in Lycoming County. Patrick is a materials coordinator and is in charge of warehousing material and inventory, coordinating deliveries and maintaining two local pipe yards.  Both employees work out of Chief's Williamsport field office.
