Manufacturing Across the LNG Value Chain Natural gas and liquids drilling and production manufacturing needs: Drill pipe and steel casing, cement, compressor equipment, tanks, control systems Upstream Natural gas processing and transport manufacturing needs: Pipeline, materials for processing facility construction Midstream Liquids refining, petrochemical processing, liquefaction plant manufacturing needs: Construction materials and equipment, LNG port facilities Down- stream Manufacturing Employment Impacts: Of the up to net 77,000 manufacturing jobs generated by LNG exports by 2035, states such as California, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Ohio are expected to see gains of up to 4,600-8,200 in 2035. In addition to the in-state construction and maintenance generating manufacturing jobs for gas-producing states such as Texas and Pennsylvania, out-of-state manufacturing is required for production of steel, cement, and equipment. 2035 State Manufacturing Employment Impacts by State Note: Calculated using an economic multiplier of 1.9. The table shows maximum impacts for all states, and shows maximum impacts for states with a potential LNG export terminal. Key Takeaways: Economic and employment impacts to states positive, or negligible Manufacturing of natural gas production equipment and materials is expected to generate significant job gains in a number of states The largest overall impacts are found in states with natural gas production, liquefaction plants, and petrochemical industries, as well as states providing goods and services (e.g., manufacturing) to those sectors ...
