Presented by Anthony J. Ventello, Executive Director
INTRODUCTION Progress Authority – Who We
Are – IDA/IDC
Outlook on US industrial and
commercial gas use and
opportunities
Bradford and Susquehanna
Counties - #1 and #2 drilled
upon counties
Long-Term Solution –value-
added utilization statewide
in balance with Export
Examples: Timber and Dairy

Marcellus Gas Utilization Paper Manufacturing Site
Region’s Largest Manufacturing Site at 3,000 employees
Energy Intensive
Industrial Campus of 90 Acres, owns 1,400 Acres Total
Horizontally Drill
Consume 800 billion kwhr (equivalent of 40,000 homes)
Now 100% self-Sufficient with co-generation
Off the Grid – Sell 10 to 20 megawatts Back to the Grid
Use 10 Billion Cubic Feet of Natural Gas/Year; Excess to Interstate Pipeline
Reduced Per Unit Consumption of
Energy by 30%; Will Hit 40% in 2 Years
Receive Lease, Bonus and Royalties
Transportation Savings on Natural Gas
Plus Savings on Capacity,
Compression and Other Supply Chain
Reduction Efficiencies
Developed 15 Gas Wells On-Site. Tied
to Midstream and Interstate Pipeline
Gas is Purer than Gulf Sources
“Tri-Generation”
So, they are CHP with electrical generation, steam, hot air
(paper processing) and absorption.
They power their fleet with CNG and have their own CNG station.
