In part one of our two-part series on the legal implications of hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") for drillers, published in the January 2013 issue of The Driller, we provided an up-to-date nationwide review of fracking-related litigation in order to illustrate various third-party litigation risks undertaken by those engaged in the practice.
Ecologix Environmental Systems has introduced its Integrated Treatment System (ITS) platform, a water management system to clean and recycle water for fracking operations.
Italy's Trevi Group recently accomplished a new feat in slurry walls, hitting a depth of 820 feet (250 meters). The company says it gives designers of major building and infrastructure projects a new tool for their toolboxes.
Atlas Copco was recently named to the 2013 Global 100 Most Sustainable Companies list. The honor marks the seventh time the company made the list. The Driller recently caught up with North America President Jim Levitt to hear his thoughts on sustainability and what it means to the company.
