For The Sunday Shale Show this week, Energy in Depth – Ohio sat down with Mr. Dave Kirven of the Stark County Oil and Gas Partnership. The partnership is a combination of Stark County’s business community, local chambers of commerce, the labor community, local government bodies and Stark State.

Mr. Kirven provided insight into what is happening with the partnership, its history, and the benefits shale development is bringing to the region.

 They say that this is a once in a generation opportunity, and what we are trying to do is, I am 10 years away from retirement, when I am done I want this thing to be growing for the next twenty years. This is going to be the life and blood of a lot of businesses. – Dave Kirven, Stark County Oil and Gas Partnership

As Mr. Kirven acknowledges, there is great potential in the future development of our state’s shale deposits, and its potential is recognized worldwide, with more and more interest and investment coming in to the Buckeye State.

For this reason, the Stark County Oil and Gas Partnership and other organizations (like Energy in Depth) have placed a priority on educating the public about the industry, its practices, and the incredible benefits this continued development will bring for Ohio’s workforce and its communities.

Energy in Depth – Ohio thanks Mr. Kirven for his efforts, and for joining us on The Sunday Shale Show. We look forward to continuing to work with those working directly or indirectly with the oil and gas industry to provide in-depth analysis of what’s taking place in Ohio (and beyond), and what it means for our communities and our state.

Stay tuned for The Sunday Shale Show next week!
