We recognize that effective market research provides valuable insights into shifts in market trends. A good example of this is the shift in natural gas production. The U.S. Gulf Coast has been the major oil and gas producing region in the country and a low cost provider of natural gas and ethane for decades. Now, according to multiple studies and data, the Appalachian Basin (Known as Shale Crescent USA), accounts for over 30% of total U.S. natural production and will be producing nearly one-third of all the NGLs in the U.S. by the year 2040.
