Utica Drilling Innovation: Plastic Pipelines Replace Water Trucks
An interesting innovation that we have not heard of before: BP is using temporary, plastic pipelines to transport water to the test wells they're drilling in Trumbull County, OH. When a series of wells are finished being drilled, the pipes can be rolled up and used somewhere else without having to dig a trench and leave a permanent pipeline underground. No more thousands of trips by water trucks to drill a well!
Could this be the start of yet another new, environmentally-friendly innovation by the shale drilling industry?...
