Texas City to Vote on Hydraulic Fracturing Ban Nov. 4

SUGAR LAND--October 22, 2014--Written by John Egan for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--In less than two weeks, voters will go to the polls in Denton, Texas, to vote on a proposal to ban hydraulic fracturing in their city, which is home to about 275 gas wells. Denton, a college town located about 50 miles northwest of Dallas, lies atop the Barnett Shale, where a little over a decade ago the hydraulic fracturing revolution got its start. That geographical irony is not lost on the Oil & Gas Industry, which is fighting--and reportedly losing--a battle against the ban.
