In 2010:
Encanas drilling rigs to run entirely on natural gas. After successfully testing the LNG storage and vaporization system the units were readied for operation in the Haynesville Shale Play covering vast amounts of Northern Louisiana. The design of the system was a successful collaboration between Prometheus, Ensign and Encana. The project enabled Encana to realize an estimated $1,000 per day fuel savings versus a drilling rig burning diesel, while also reducing NOx and PM emissions by as much as 25%.

Wonderful, now you did it. The minute Obama finds out he will regulate it out of existence.
So, what’s taking so long for somebody to jump on T. Boone Pickens for saying natural gas’ best use is as a motor fuel?
Encana has a nice filling station CNG right next to the red river in Coushatta. Encana and Shell has just about shut down the drilling in the Haynesville shale because of the low prices and dry gas.
