In addition to possessing technical expertise, our staff of 35 engineers, geologists, and scientists has always been highly responsive to clients’ needs and attentive to detail – qualities that now serve us well in supporting the dynamic Marcellus Shale industry.

Through the years, we have built credibility and rapport with the regulatory community in Pennsylvania. Our reputation as a local, well-established firm offers our clients an advantage in the current fluctuating regulatory climate.

Cummings/Riter is proud to be an active member of the Marcellus Shale Coalition (MSC). As a member, we embrace and operate by the following MSC guiding principles:

• We provide the safest possible workplace for our employees, with our contractors, and in the communities in which we operate;

• We are committed to being responsible members of the communities in which we work;
• We encourage spirited public dialogue and fact-based education about responsible shale gas development; and

We recognize that to succeed in business, we not only embrace these principles, we live by them each and every day. This will be our legacy.
