The Associated Press reports that “while the last decade of oil and gas development has been largely contained to the shale regions of Pennsylvania, the next phase will tunnel through the misstate.”  

“Company men have been showing up at doorsteps throughout the region, asking for pieces of private property where pipelines can be built.  

“After 10 years of drilling, shale operators have more natural resources than the infrastructure to deliver it. There’s now more supply than demand, and pipeline builders are seizing the opportunity and submitting plans for an underground network to move through Pennsylvania.”
