Marcellus Drillers Saving / Recycling Water

Oil & Gas companies that perform hydraulic fracturing in the Marcellus Shale are typically recycling about two thirds of the water they use. These are the results of a study by Penn State hydrogeologist David Yoxtheimer. "The industry is striving to reuse as much flowback water as possible", Yoxtheimer said.
