SHALE INSIGHT® 2025 to Spotlight the Appalachian Basin as the Hub of America’s Energy, Tech Future
15th annual conference, hosted by the Marcellus Shale Coalition, returns to Erie Sept. 16-18
ERIE, Pa., Sept. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Pennsylvania is fast becoming the epicenter of America’s energy leadership and growth, and the 15th annual SHALE INSIGHT® Conference will bring together executives, policymakers, and technical experts from across Appalachia’s natural gas industry to chart how the region is leveraging decades of innovation to drive the nation’s economic and technological competitiveness.
Coming on the heels of U.S. Senator Dave McCormick’s Energy and Innovation Summit, which showcased nearly $100 billion in Pennsylvania energy and digital infrastructure investments, SHALE INSIGHT® 2025 will dive into what these commitments mean for continued shale development in Pennsylvania and the Appalachian Basin at large.
Timely topics include grid reliability and power generation, the impact and opportunities from the rise of data centers and AI, infrastructure build-out and downstream use opportunities, among many others.
“Shale Insight unites the industry’s top leaders and innovators at a time when Pennsylvania is driving advancements not only in natural gas development, but also in advanced manufacturing and in emerging technologies,” said Jim Welty, president of the Marcellus Shale Coalition. “This year’s conference will showcase how America’s largest shale-gas basin is fueling growth and opportunity for our country and our allies abroad.”
Featured speakers include executives from Expand Energy, Southern Company Gas, EQT, Repsol, MPLX, PennEnergy Resources, and National Fuel Gas, as well as PHMSA’s Acting Administrator, Ben Kochman, and PJM Interconnection’s Asim Haque, Senior Vice President, Government and Member Services. In addition, United States Senator Dave McCormick will share thoughts on how Pennsylvania is emerging as America’s energy and AI hub, while the American Gas Association will host a fireside chat about the role of Appalachia-produced natural gas in the utility sector in various regions of the country.
Attendees will also benefit from learning about future energy innovations through both the Technology Showcase and the University Research Showcase. The Technology Showcase will provide insights into new advancements in AI, emissions management, mineral and next-generation systems, among others, while the University Research Showcase will feature projects on a range of topics from a dozen students and faculty from Penn State University, West Virginia University, The Ohio State University, Washington & Jefferson College, and Franklin University.
Packed with keynote speakers, engaging breakout panels, a sold-out exhibition hall of operators, vendors, and service providers, and plentiful networking opportunities, SHALE INSIGHT® 2025 underscores how the Appalachian Basin is powering America’s energy future while providing family-sustaining jobs, unparalleled economic opportunities, and energy security for America and our allies abroad.
