Shale Oil Development and US Energy SectorShale Oil Development and US Energy Sector
Shale oil development is revolutionizing the American energy sector
Improved technologies— Fracking— Horizontal drilling
Creating thousands of jobs and US energy independence
Rail has a significant role to play, but with that role comes tremendous responsibility
We enhance safety through significant investment in infrastructure, continuous training, and coordination with government agencies and officials.
