Where to find out more
You can find out more about shale gas from these resources:
• NETL website – The National Energy Technology Laboratory has a complete list of research projects, with details about
objectives, accomplishments, expected benefits and results, at http://www.netl.doe.gov/.
• DOE website – The Department of Energy has information available on Department objectives and accomplishments related
to natural gas at http://energy.gov/energysources/naturalgas.htm.
• Marcellus Shale Coalition website – This website has general information provided by an organization “committed to the
responsible development of natural gas from the Marcellus Shale geological formation and the enhancement of the region’s
economy that can be realized by this clean-burning energy source” at http://marcelluscoalition.org/home/.
• Groundwork – The IOGCC website focuses on shale gas regulatory information at http://groundwork.iogcc.org.
