Penn State Extension to host webinar

UNIVERSITY PARK -- Penn State Extension will offer a "Natural Gas in the Appalachian Basin" webinar, Thursday, Dec. 21 at noon.

Colonel Drake, Titusville, and 1859: The Appalachian Basin energy boom begins. Since the first horizontally drilled and hydraulically fractured well was drilled in Washington County, Pa., in 2004, the Appalachian Basin has become the largest natural gas producer in the United States. From pipelines, roads, rail and processing plants, there have been tremendous investment risks and technology advancements to develop the infrastructure to support this rapid growth. The discussion will investigate the Appalachian Basin's growth and future trends.
