Rounding out Bisnow’s Top 10 Stories of 2011 is Neohydro!
No doubt about it. Hydraulic fracking for O&G was the star of the 2011′s energy show. Eagle Ford, Marcellus, Bakken, and Haynesville are now household hames. But with all the fortunes, jobs, and benefits it brings, the evironmentalists remain reluctant to embrace it. Why? The contamination and shortage of water is the big beef, but Neohydro CEO Dean Themy is doing something about it.
His technology can clean and recycle non-chemically at the site, eliminating the “barbaric” (and expensive) method of trucking clean water in and then trucking it away after it’s tainted with heavy metals, hydrocarbons, and bacteria. More Houston companies are offering solutions to improve fracking, and there’s a solid bet it could return as the top story of 2012.
