For The Sunday Shale Show this week, Energy in Depth – Ohio sat down with Mr. Primo Panzarello, Organizing Director & Business Representative, International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 18.

Our guest provided background on Local 18, its operations, the organization’s seventy-three year history and its current operations here in Ohio.

Our saying, our motto is Safety is Our Target. That is what we teach our people, everything they do is safety, safety safety. – Primo Panzarello, Local 18

As Mr. Panzarello 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, Local 18 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. Panzarello 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!
