Some states require natural-gas companies use technology to capture gas during the construction and drilling of wells.
WSJ: Rise in U.S. Gas Production Fuels Unexpected Plunge in Emissions
As there is no global market for gas, the construction of costly pipelines effectively locks consumers into lengthy contracts with producers.
Private companies in the oil and gas, mining, construction and other industries also rely on generators for power.

For construction, gas requires about 1, 000 jobs per 1, 000 MW of installed capacity, wind requires 1, 000 jobs, coal 1, 500 jobs, and nuclear 5, 000 jobs.
According to Platts, there are some 13GW of thermal energy capacity, comprising mainly hard coal but some lignite and gas, already under construction in Germany.
The production sector increased by 1.1%, primarily driven by growth in electricity and gas supply, and construction also grew by 0.6% following a period of contraction.
It should stimulate a boom in construction of gas-fired plants, given the huge new supplies of shale gas unlocked by the combination of deep horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.

Meanwhile, New England plans to import natural gas supplies from foreign markets and has started construction on nearly a dozen shipping terminals for liquid natural-gas imports.
The most notable omission is infrastructure construction of a gas gathering system to tie into, with luck, an existing nearby major trunk line.

George Osborne approved the construction of new gas-fired power stations, to be built over the next two decades, similar to the one opened in Pembrokshire last September.
Natural gas development will drive the construction of additional power generation, desalination facilities, and petrochemical plants, all capital intensive undertakings that cannot be supported using existing financing mechanism accessible to Israel.
The idea of obtaining more energy from off-shore and Arctic oil and gas deposits and accelerating the construction of a new generation of nuclear plants will continue to receive at least presidential lip service.
In addition, several transcontinental pipelines connecting U.S. markets with natural gas fields in Canada are under construction.
Stone, clay and glass companies will benefit from both cheap natural gas as well as a housing construction rebound.

It would hasten construction of a massive natural gas pipeline from Prudhoe Bay to the lower 48 states.
"If states aren't really using all of their gas tax revenue for road maintenance and construction, then there's good reason for outrage, " says Ahern.
But without individual customers willing to sign up, and pay up, for its construction, buying more Russian gas through existing pipelines will seem an easier and cheaper option.
It will take strong institutions at both the national and international levels to satisfy competing demands and defuse tension when it arises, such as over proposals for shale gas extraction, mass irrigation or dam construction.
The latest memorandum of understanding, signed by Tehran and CNOOC, China's biggest offshore oil producer, would involve the exploitation of the North Pars fields and the construction of Iranian liquefied natural gas facilities, whose products would then be exported to China.
The shale gas boom has already resulted in the construction of dozens of new extraction and production facilities in energy and chemicals, creating tens of thousands of jobs, with potentially hundreds of thousands of more to come in energy and related industries.
It will now work with carbon capture provider, Doosan Power Systems, Fluor, an engineering and construction company, and oil and gas firm Petrofac.
Last quarter, the company said that demand was healthy across market segments, but particularly in the non-residential construction, energy, oil and gas, and aerospace industries.
Expats outnumber Qataris by six to one, drawn by jobs in construction, hospitality, education and the gas and oil industries.
That will result in the closing of a cadre of coal plants and the construction of numerous combined-cycle natural gas facilities.
Overseas companies already have approached the Cypriot authorities for the construction of a liquefied-natural-gas plant, which will help process and export the hydrocarbon reserves.
Polish security would be much better served by large scale US investments in shale gas extraction, or even technical advise in infrastructure construction, than by the stationing of missile interceptors, but the later has had endless volumes written about it while the first, although occasionally mentioned, is not a topic of any special concern.

In 2009, the El Dorado Task Force, a joint federal and state law enforcement effort focused on money laundering and other financial crimes, built an air-tight case against nearly a dozen Con Edison employees for taking kickbacks from contractors that performed gas line and electrical work for Con Edison on construction projects in New York City and Westchester County.
This will drive growth in sales of construction and mining equipment, diesel and natural gas engines, and industrial gas turbines manufactured by Caterpillar.

Others include Oklahoma City, prospering on the shale-fracking boom in oil and gas, and Denver, which is adding jobs in construction, professional services and mining.
The Aliyev family is reported to have interests in just about every private sector (which does not include oil and gas in the public sector), including telecoms, construction, real estate, aviation, and mineral mines.
