” At the end of 2018, Pennsylvania drillers were producing about 18 billion cubic feet of gas a day.”
The conversion to equivalent energy in barrels of oil is about 6000 cu-ft of gas equals 1 barrel of oil. Using the above number of 18 billion, that comes out to the equivalent of 3 million barrels of oil per day. In terms of dollar value, if it were oil, it would be $50 Billion per year.
That, folks, is some SERIOUS PRODUCTION, as Texas, the national leader in oil production is just under 4 million barrels per day, and the entire USA is around 10 million.
The wealth is there, it’s now only a matter of whether the votes are also there.
Michigan produces 100 billion cubic feet most years.
