THE ISSUE
Big-picture thinking and meticulous attention to
detail can help companies find better ways to get
Hydraulic
proppant onto well sites and into producing
Fracturing
formations. This month's Hydraulic Fracturing
Technology cover reports reveal how new ways of
moving proppant are improving a number of
variables, including traffic bottlenecks, personnel
safety and noise. Meanwhile, the Industry in Motion
report looks at the extent to which U.S.-produced
crude oil and natural gas exports are reshaping world
energy markets. Part two of Horizontal Wellbore
Construction discusses the significant potential that multilateral technology
offers for improving efficiencies, shrinking costs, and maximizing production
and recovery rates in unconventional plays, while the Marcellus/Utica Update
demonstrates the Appalachian Basin not only is the cradle of the oil and gas
industry, but also is a big part of its present and future. Association news
includes Official Convention Sections for KIOGA, EKOGA and PAW. Cover
