Revisiting the Economic Impact of the Fayetteville Shale Kathy Deck, Director Center for Business and Economic Research June 7, 2012
Background • The Center for Business and Economic Research has been studying the effects of the Fayetteville Shale natural gas industry since 2005. • In 2008, we put out a widely-read study, discussing the likely impacts of the development of the Fayetteville Shale.
Economic Impact • Economic impact studies usually look at several variables: • Economic Output • Value Added • Employment • Tax Impacts
Economic Impacts • We used a combination of publicly available data, an industry survey, and the IMPLAN input-output model to examine the effects of the Fayetteville Shale from 2008 to 2012.
Employment Growth • From 2001 to 2010, total employment growth in Arkansas was 6,920 or 0.6 percent. • In the mining, quarrying, and oil and gas industry, employment increased by 116.8 percent from 3,855 to 8,358. • This is 65 percent of total growth!
Average Annual Pay • The average annual pay in the oil and gas extraction industry was $74,555 in 2010, twice the average pay of all industries in Arkansas.
Other Sector Impacts • Welspun • Saint-Gobain • American Rail • Fayetteville Express Pipeline • Broadway Pipeline
Fayetteville Shale Counties • Despite the loss of 9,558 manufacturing jobs, 5 out of the 9 Fayetteville Shale Counties experienced higher than state average employment growth from 2001-2010.
Taxable Sales • From 2006 to 2011, state taxable sales increased by 5.7 percent. • In Fayetteville Shale counties, taxable sales increased by 20.0 percent during the same period.
Mineral Lease and Royalty Payments • From 2008 to 2011 more than $1.2 billion of payments were made by E&P companies to mineral owners residing in all 75 Arkansas counties. • These royalty payments generate wealth in the communities, consumer expenditures, and tax revenues.
Economic Output • From 2008 to 2011, total economic activity of more than $18.5 billion was generated as a result of Fayetteville Shale activities in the state. • The 2008 projection was $14.2 billion.

2012 Impacts • Expenditures: $2.7 billion (5.8 percent more than projected in 2008) • Economic Output: Almost $4.0 billion • Value Added: Almost $2.7 billion • Employment: 16,607 jobs
