Steel products are used for the extraction, transport and delivery of natural gas.
Using our natural gas resources is important to reducing energy costs for manufacturers including the steel industry, which supports more than one million jobs in the economy. The development of natural gas will create high-value jobs and revitalize local communities.
The shale gas boom is driving up demand for steel pipe and tube products. A further rise in steel shipments for the energy sector is expected this year.
In the short term, lower gas prices will increase GDP and employment, and, in the long term, will positively impact profitability and competiveness of the U.S manufacturing sector.
