Oil and gas industry sees jobs in Utica shale
Ohio’s oil and gas industry experts released a report Tuesday that predicts as many as 203,138 new jobs could come to Ohio by 2015 as explorers begin taping into energy deposits buried more than a mile underground in the Utica Shale reserve.
The jobs would be from the leasing, royalties, exploration, drilling, production and pipeline construction, the report said.
The Ohio Oil & Gas Energy Education Program is trying to make the case that the state is on the verge of an economic oil and gas boom, which could provide jobs and local energy sources for Ohio.
“You can’t have a healthy economy unless you have affordable, reliable energy,” said Jerry James, president of Artex Oil Co. based in Marietta.
The report comes on the eve of a two-day energy summit by the Kasich administration in Columbus. The governor’s office wants input on energy issues such as hydrofracking for Utica Shale deposits and renewable energy standards established in 2008 by the Strickland administration.
Environmentalists and green energy companies want to preserve the renewable energy standards, which will require utility companies to produce or acquire 25 percent of the energy they sell in Ohio from advanced energy sources in the coming years.
The Kasich administration is expected to propose a comprehensive energy policy early next year, according to Rob Nichols, the governor’s press secretary.
More than 800 people are expected to attend the energy summit.
