Industry Advocacy Group Spotlights Dearing Compressor
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio -- The industry advocacy group Energy In Depth profiled Dearing Compressor and Pump on its website Friday following a tour of the company's plant here.
Writes Shawn Bennett, diretor of corporate and community affairs for Energy In Depth, "With strong reliance on innovation, Dearing saw the opportunity shale development would bring and began building and supplying compressor packages to customers in Pennsylvania. The average compressor station puts out anywhere from 1,500 to 5,000 horsepower costing $1 million plus. During our tour, there were 7 compressor stations being built in the bays of their 50,000 square feet facility with each one ranging from $1.2 million to $3.4 million."
Dearing's success story -- the family business was established in 1945 -- has been the subject of ongoing coverage in The Business Journal through the years. The company's recent expansion and demand for hiring additional skilled workers has similarly drawn the notice of other news organizations in northeastern Ohio.
Energy In Depth was launched by the Petroleum Association of America in 2009. The organization describes its mission as educating the public "on the promise and potential of onshore energy development in America."
