Note: LNG was not pumped as the fluid used underground to create the cracks.
LNG and diesel were used to fuel the pumps that pressurized the Water/Sand/Chemical mixture that was pumped downhole.

CAT also has a partnership with WPRT.
- I wonder if these pumping engines used CAT engines with WPRT fuel systems?
Anyone?

“Note: LNG was not pumped as the fluid used underground to create the cracks.”
That was what I first thought when I read the headline. I didn’t figure it out until about the third paragraph, then it all made sense.
Thackney, one reason I love your posts: My neice’s husband sells drilling mud and other drilling materials to the operators down in Eagle Ford. Great guy. Your posts allow me to have a halfway intelligent conversation with him. He says there is another play in strata even deeper in Eagle Ford, but the technology to tap into it on a commerical scale isn’t there yet.

Westport Innovations, which manufactures natural gas-powered truck engines, recently reported it is building a railroad locomotive engine that can run on LNG. During 2012, the company saw "broad consensus" for the first time that natural gas will take material market share in every global transportation market within the next five years, said David Demers, chief executive officer for Westport, during the company's third quarter 2012 earnings update Nov. 8. Westport Innovations, (WPRT), bought 200 shares a month ago.
