The Shale Crescent USA is the only region where world scale energy and customers exist together. This strategic location creates long-term advantages for manufacturers and energy intensive operations.
The states of Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania rank as the world’s 3rd-largest natural gas producer and offer the lowest natural gas prices in the industrialized world. The region sits within a day’s drive (1,000 km) of 170 million Americans, a dense industrial ecosystem, and is connected by major rivers, rail, and roads.

Natural gas is concentrated in a small number of countries around the world. Shale Crescent USA ranks as the 3rd largest natural gas producing region. Although many times smaller, Shale Crescent USA produces nearly twice as much as Canada. More importantly, this abundant and affordable energy is at the center of America’s industrial belt.
Manufacturers in the Shale Crescent USA experience REDUCED costs, simple logistics, and energy security. Invest where energy and markets come together.
The Shale Crescent USA has grown its gas production more than any other region of the world over the past two decades. 65% of all new growth in the U.S. is from Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. The increase has driven down prices in the Shale Crescent USA and the region is now a net exporter.
Energy abundance creates fundamental advantages. Manufacturers and Energy intensive consumers have the opportunity to build where natural gas production is growing to ensure long-term stability, low prices, and energy security.
Natural gas prices within the Shale Crescent USA are the lowest in the industrialized world. Over the past 5 years, European and Asian customers have paid four to ten times (4x-10x) more than customers in the Shale Crescent USA.
Based on abundant supply and elimination of long-haul transportation, the Shale Crescent USA is projected to continue to be the lowest-cost natural gas and natural gas liquids consumer region. The cost of energy and feedstocks is typically the primary cost driver for manufacturing operations. Manufacturers in the Shale Crescent USA can experience lower prices, reduced volatility, and increased margins.
The Shale Crescent USA is projected to drive the future growth of U.S. natural gas supply. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, production in the states of Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania is forecast to grow by 50% over the next 25 years. In contrast, production in regions near the U.S.Gulf Coast and across much of the rest of the country is forecast to decline. The stark difference underscores a long-term opportunity: the future of increasing, stable, and low cost energy is in the Shale Crescent USA.
Shale Crescent USA is uniquely capable of providing large volumes of electricity to power energy intensive data centers. Natural gas is the most readily deployable and scalable resource in America. Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania are responsible for nearly all the gas produced East of the Mississippi, and they produce over a third all the natural gas in the U.S.
For the first time in 50 years, the United States is experiencing sustained growth in electricity demand. Meeting the surge will require regions with natural resources and infrastructure to deliver reliable baseload power. Shale Crescent USA is one of the few locations in America capable of delivering scalable and affordable electricity. Other regions depend on imported feedstock or external power to keep their grids stable.
Shale Crescent USA offers a decisive advantage for data centers and other power-intensive industries.
The Shale Crescent USA sits within a one-day drive (1,000km) of half the U.S. population (170 million people), a majority of U.S. plastics demand, and a dense manufacturing ecosystem.
Facilities located in the Shale Crescent USA greatly reduce long haul transportation of feedstocks in and long haul transportation of finished product out. Supply and demand are in the same location. This means simple logistics and shorter supply chains. Manufacturers can experience REDUCED costs, time, and emissions.
The Shale Crescent USA is the birthplace of U.S. oil and gas, petrochemicals, plastics, steel, rubber, and glass. It is home to hundreds of world class companies who have chosen the region to experience:
