That is false. Haliburton, Baker Hughes, Schlumberger and Weatherford perform the majority of the US hydraulic fracturing activities and are all international companies.
It is not a question of international COMPANIES. It is a question of LOCATION. Let me ask a rhetorical question as an example of what I mean.
How many of the previously producing oil fields such as Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Russia, etc are using this technology now?
I suspect that there is a fairly large percentage that are not using the newer technologies.
