EPA's proposed rules, if they become policy, would no longer require gas drillers, producers and transporters to maintain methane emissions control systems.
Sooner or later, each individual or organization active in the drilling world and using engines will need to deal with the realities of emissions regulations put in place by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Before drilling a well, we must consider what variables of contamination could have a negative impact on the well. Minimizing that risk starts with a proper site assessment.

Brock Yordy hosts Garrett Carrino, Owner of American Well & Pump in NYC, and David Bowers, Trainer and Facilitator for the Local 150 Chicago Operators Union (the only union geothermal drilling apprenticeship program in the US). In this session, they discuss the logistics of operating in dense urban environments, what clients and general contractors should know about drilling in big cities, and the importance of credible logs and test wells.
