CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WV News) — More than 20 companies and organizations across the state’s natural gas and oil sector, along with lawmakers and students, participated in Oil & Gas Day at the West Virginia state Capitol on Wednesday.
The event emphasized the industry’s role in job creation, energy affordability and access, and boosting key industries in the state like manufacturing, according to a press release.
“We constantly talk about the positive impacts our industry delivers that stretch far beyond the state’s core producing counties,” said Maribeth Anderson, board president of the Gas and Oil Association of West Virginia. “Today, our elected officials were able to see it firsthand and truly understand the work GO-WV and our members — as America’s 5th largest energy producing state — do to create long-term growth opportunities for West Virginia and all of us who live here.”
Also in attendance were students from Maureen Miller’s science class at George Washington Middle School in Putnam County.

The students, along with Miller, were introduced on both the House and Senate floor.
“The future of energy is very bright in West Virginia,” Miller said. “My students always enjoy learning about our natural gas and oil, and I look forward to seeing this industry continue to grow.”
