Class Action Against Evolution Well in PA & OH Settled for $2.55M

Evolution Well Services, headquartered in Houston with a regional office in Pittsburgh, specializes in “electric” fracking--using natural gas from the well pad (instead of diesel fuel) to power turbines to create electricity that drives fracking pumps. In September 2020, three former Evolution employees who worked at remote sites in the Marcellus/Utica filed a lawsuit against the company claiming Evolution failed to pay them for their commute to and from job sites. The lawsuit was turned into a class action in February of last year (see Class Action Certified Against Evolution Well for Commuter Wages). Both sides met with a mediator in September and settled the lawsuit for $2.55 million. A federal judge has just blessed that deal.
