The oil and gas industry is growing steadily in the United States and Canada, and environmental and regulatory challenges are growing steadily with it.
Due to public concerns about the industry’s potential effects on global climate change and sources of fresh groundwater, regulators are responding with significant new environmental laws. For instance, Federal regulators are considering implementing more
