Sure would! it'd employ a large number of engineers, and likely have synergy with, e.g., petroleum workers and other people who do earthmoving and installation of infrastructure.

Like other forms of resource extraction, building the infrastructure would provide substantial economic benefit of itself.

Also, it'd fuck up the market for oil drilling equipment and make that harder to obtain, so, y'know, win-win.
