EarthRes Group, Inc., a full-service engineering and consulting firm headquartered in Bucks County, PA, and with an Appalachian Regional Office in Morgantown, WV, was invited to present to West Virginia University Environmental & Energy Resource Management Students on career opportunities within the oil and gas industry.
On Wednesday, April 11, 2018, Howard G. Murphy, Jr., P.E., Director of Energy Services at EarthRes, spoke to over 30 Environmental and Energy Resource Management students regarding career opportunities within the petrochemical industry.
“As a whole, the petrochemical industry is poised for growth, with slated development and projected production levels positioning the US to be the global leader in the next 10 years. There is estimated to be $145 billion in petrochemical industrial facility expansions in the US by 2025, with several petrochemical operations slated for development in the WV/OH/PA tristate area*. The Appalachian Basin, is slated to be supplying 40% of America’s total natural gas production in the next 12 years,**” states Howard Murphy at EarthRes.

We are happy to help cultivate these students to be future oil and gas young professionals and keep these jobs here at home with students trained right here in West Virginia.”
