Texas Commission Expands Air Sampling in Barnett Shale

摘要

Texas state officials have proposed new rules that would affect emissions from equipment used in oil and natural gas facilities such as compressor stations and are asking the public for comments. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality is looking at ways to minimize emissions and ensure that public health is protected as drilling in areas such as the Barnett Shale continue to expand into urban area, according to Chairman Bryan W. Shaw.
