Observer-Reporter reports: The abundant output of natural gas in the United States over the past decade, particularly from the Marcellus and Utica shale strata, are providing economic benefits across the country, according to a study released Tuesday by the American Petroleum Institute. The study, conducted for the institute by ICF International, examined the economic benefits and opportunities from the entire natural gas value chain, including the production of natural gas, its transportation and end uses such as power generation and manufacturing.

The ICF study found there were 4.1 million jobs in the United States related to natural gas in 2015, with the top three sectors being support activities for oil and gas operations, chemical manufacturing and oil and gas pipeline construction.
