Heard on the news this morning that if Pennsylvania was a country it would be the #3 gas producer in the world. This map shows the gas is all in the western part of the state which lies in the Appalachians, stretching out from Pittsburgh. This is the Marcellus Shale region, which is by far the largest natural gas producing region in the US and one of the top five natural gas fields in the world.
Notice on this map below of US natural gas pipelines that there is a major cluster in western Pennsylvania along with its neighbor West Virginia.
