Recycled

The Buckeye Water District (BWD), a utility based in Columbiana County, OH, agreed to supply water for at least three years to a subsidiary of Rex Energy Corp. for oil and natural gas drilling in neighboring Carroll County, OH, the most prolific in the Utica Shale.

House Democrats plan to introduce energy legislation, possibly as early as this week, that would include a recycled proposal and some sweeteners in an attempt to boost production of domestic oil and natural gas resources in the Lower 48 states and Alaska. The legislation comes as Republicans’ calls to open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and more of the Outer Continental Shelf to drilling grow louder, and as crude oil, natural gas and gasoline prices continue to steadily rise.
