Canadian oilpatch insiders are keeping a wary eye on potential changes to U.S. natural gas drilling regulations after an environmental agency reported industry activity was the likely culprit tainting drinking water in Wyoming.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency draft report on contaminated water in the tiny hamlet of Pavillion released Thursday was immediately disputed by oilpatch supporters as inconclusive and hailed as a call to arms by environmental groups.
The bigger question for companies involved in drilling and fracturing was how politicians south of the border would react, given already vocal public opposition to the technology in New York, Pennsylvania and several other states.
