Natural Gas Development

This article explores the recent history and significance of unconventional natural gas development in the Marcellus region of Pennsylvania, including a look at the state’s historical background on hydrocarbon production, the effect of political and social media campaigns against development activities and the outlook for the future. In consultation with industry and environmental groups, Pennsylvania’s state government has crafted rules and regulations allowing responsible development to proceed, helping industry secure and retain its licence to operate in the process. This success was further made possible by an early and robust public engagement strategy that refuted misinformation and provided proper context for both the benefits and challenges inherent in resource development. However, in neighbouring states like New York and Maryland, similar public strategies and campaigns in support of development were not as quickly assembled and mobilised. The contrasting histories (and final results) help provide a template of lessons learned for other areas considering shale development, including an opportunity to avoid the kinds of mistakes that have led to moratoria, bans or other restrictions on specific well stimulation technologies, such as hydraulic fracturing.

This case study outlines a project launched by the Wall Street West organization, a data redundancy system in Northeastern Pennsylvania which provides backdrop for financial institutions located in New York City. The purpose of this study is threefold. First, the history on the importance of business continuity plans in a post 9/11 world is explored. Second, the Federal Reserve Board, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Securities and Exchange Commission recommendations regarding Disaster Recover, in addition to the requirements of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, are reviewed. Lastly, an overview of Wall Street Wests effort is provided, looking at some of the strategic advantages to locate in Northeastern Pennsylvania and demonstrating the important resources provided by Wall Street West to protect the nations national security. Conclusions and case use recommendations are presented as this case is ideally suited for use in an Accounting Information Systems course at either the undergraduate or graduate level creating an awareness of the importance of business continuity planning.

The 19Th Century

The Lardner Vanuxem collection of minerals and fossils, lost since its sale in 1853-1854 to W. M. Stewart of Clarksville, Tennessee, has been rediscovered, along with a catalog of the collection. The collection is summarized in tabular form. The disposition of the specimens since the death of Vanuxem, in 1848, is also discussed. About five percent of the original 6,000-specimen mineral collection still exists at Southwestern University at Memphis. The Vanuxem collection catalog, reprinted by W. M. Stewart circa 1855, indicated a comprehensive collection of the minerals known in the first half of the 19th century. The Vanuxem fossil collection contained some 16,000 sepcimens, most of which were from the Lower Paleozoic (Potsdam Sandstone, Medina Sandstone, Marcellus Shale, and many Trentonianage formations) of New York State. The collection was organized later by W. M. Stewart on the basis of geologic periods. Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, and Tertiary fossils are dominant. No trace of the Vanuxem fossil collection exists today, although it was still in use in 1923 by students at Southwestern Presbyterian University, Clarksville, Tennessee.

Farm Type

We study farm real estate values in the Barnett shale (Texas) and the northeastern part of the Marcellus shale (Pennsylvania and New York). We find that shale gas development caused appreciation in real estate values in both areas but the effect was much larger for the Marcellus, suggesting broader ownership of oil and gas rights by surface owners. In both regions, the greatest appreciation occurred when land was leased for drilling, not when drilling and production boomed. We find evidence that effects vary by farm type, which may reflect correlation between farm type and ownership of oil and gas rights.
