Shale Directories to Present Appalachian Storage Hub Conference

The tidal wave of business resulting from the Marcellus and Utica shale
gas and oil development is the focus of an important conference June 7th
highlighting the opportunities associated with the Appalachian Storage
Hub.

The storage hub is a $10 billion infrastructure project that will enable
chemical processors, their suppliers and customers to propel the
economic revitalization of the Appalachian Basin.

The conference is presented by Shale Directories President Joe Barone
and TopLine Analytics CEO Tom Gellrich at the Hilton Garden at
Southpointe. Registration for attendees is open and sponsorship
opportunities are available.

The conference is designed for those who would benefit as the
Appalachian Storage Hub moves forward, including construction and
engineering companies, surveyors, law firms, suppliers, investors and
government. Topics will include:

• Appalachian Basin shale gas revolution and development of major
  chemical processing capabilities,
• The need for the storage hub and its economic growth potential,
• What state governments are doing and what still must be done,
• Opportunities for investment,
• Comparisons between the Appalachian Basin and the Gulf Coast, and much
  more.

“The Appalachian Storage Hub opportunities are real. They are not just
on our region’s wish list, they are happening,” Barone said. “People
know about the Shell and PTTGC ethylene crackers, which are
game-changers for this region, but few are fully aware of how much more
extensive and expansive this region’s opportunities will be.”

Gellrich said the conference will feature experts who understand the
significance of the Appalachian Storage Hub and the critical role it
will play in reducing costs and enhancing the logistics associated with
processing gas to produce materials that will help drive regional and
national economic growth.

“There are 130 companies globally operating ethylene crackers and 90
percent of them are headquartered outside of the U.S.,” Gellrich said.
“Many are in locations with high capital and raw material costs, so they
are looking at our Utica and Marcellus shale as having tremendous
potential.

“The Appalachian Storage Hub Conference will cover this topic head-on
with facts and in-depth discussion to bring light to the development
under way and that which is still to come,” he said.
