Homegrown Energy Report

In a partnership with Corning Place Consulting, the Independent Oil and Gas Association of New York has developed Homegrown Energy – The Facts About Natural Gas Exploration of the Marcellus Shale*. This twelve-page booklet provides a wealth of information including an overview of the Marcellus Shale, the economic benefits of natural gas exploration, minimizing the environmental impact of drilling and much more. As IOGA of NY continues to research this important issue, we will make periodic updates to this booklet.

The Facts About Hydrofracing

Hydraulic fracturing (hydrofracing) is key to the exploration of natural gas. Developed in the late 1940′s, hydrofracing is now a highly efficient method of releasing natural gas from the Marcellus Shale and other shale formation across the United States. The Independent Oil and Gas Association of New York has developed a concise fact sheet entitled The Facts About Hydrofracing which details the hyrdofracing process and the chemicals used in that process. As IOGA of NY continues to research this important issue, we will make periodic updates to this fact sheet.
