The contest also is sponsored by: Marcellus Shale Coalition, a Washington County-based group representing gas exploration companies; Little Pine Resources, a Dallas-based gas drilling company with offices in Clearfield County; Chesapeake Energy Corp., the Oklahoma City-based oil and gas company with significant operations in Pennsylvania; First National Bank, based in Mercer County; and Schlumberger Ltd., a Houston-based provider of well site operations, engineering and services to oil and gas companies.
