Could Tighter Federal Ozone Standards Slow Oil & Gas Production in Eagle Ford Shale?

SUGAR LAND--July 29, 2014--Written by John Egan for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Surging Oil & Gas Production in the Eagle Ford Shale could create federal regulatory problems for the greater Houston, Dallas and San Antonio metropolitan areas in the coming years.

VOCs can cause respiratory and neurological problems. Some VOCs, such as benzene, can cause cancer.
