Ohio State Creates a Subsurface Energy Resource Website

 

In response to the growing need for an educational and research source for issues related to Ohio’s developing shale energy industry, The Ohio State University announced today the creation of the Ohio State Subsurface Energy Resource Center (SERC). The center, with faculty experts in the areas of economics, law and policy; earth science; engineering; energy and environmental science; extension and community development; and public health, will conduct relevant research and serve as a resource to subsurface energy stakeholders.

The center was established in response to recent technical advances that are leading to the expansion of horizontal drilling for hydrocarbon-bearing shale and other resources across Ohio. As one of the nation’s largest research universities and the state’s land-grant institution, Ohio State has a wealth of expertise to contribute to subsurface energy development and its associated environmental issues, as well as a responsibility to serve as a resource to policy makers.
