West Virginia University and Ohio State University have signed a memorandum of
understanding creating a shale energy partnership between the two schools,
agreeing to work collaboratively to develop a joint program of research in the
Appalachian Region's developing shale energy industry.
Ohio State and WVU will collaborate on
scholarly work and instruction focused on shale energy. The schools will
address issues related to shale development, including the economic
implications of natural gas and other hydrocarbons, as well as the possible
impacts of such development efforts on the environment, local communities and
public health.
They will
exchange information and jointly explore funding of shale energy and related
environmental studies before, during, and after the development of the Utica and Marcellus shale plays,
including the possibility of developing shale energy field laboratories,
according to a news release issued by WVU.
