  • The Company has received guidance from the US Coast Guard for Waterborne Transport of Oil Field Wastes regarding plans to convert existing infrastructure into a water recycling station and build up to 19,000 barrels of water tank storage
  • Three new Hazmat vacuum trucks ordered and delivered for the Appalachia division in August 2013
FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDEDJUNE 30, 2013
GreenHunter reported revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 of$8.9 million, compared to $4.2 million reported during the Second Quarter of 2012. The increase in revenues of 113% or $4.7 million was driven primarily by increases in daily salt water disposal volumes as a result of both organic SWD capacity growth and acquisitions that resulted in a 1,400% increase in permitted operating injection capacity compared to one year ago.
The operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was ($2.1) million, compared to an operating loss of ($0.4) million during the Second Quarter of 2012. Net loss to common shareholders was ($1.7) million, (($0.05)loss per common share basic and diluted) for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to a net loss of ($1.0) million, (($0.04) loss per common share basic and diluted), during the Second Quarter of 2012.
For the three months ended June 30, 2013, GreenHunter’s Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) was $1.2 million. Operating margins decreased during this period resulting in an operating loss and loss to common shareholders due primarily to increased costs associated with a greater scale of operations in South Texas. This is a result of low margin services associated with well-pad completion and rig washing services previously offered by our White Top and Black Water business lines. These services were discontinued during the month of May 2013.
On June 10, 2013, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, GreenHunter Water, LLC closed on the sale of one underutilized saltwater disposal well and associated equipment located in South Texas. The Company received $5.2 million from this non-core asset divestiture, resulting in a gain of $2.3 million.

Fracktivist in Dimock Releases Carefully Edited Video, Refuses to Release the Rest

From Energy in Depth: There is something very strange going on along Carter Road, in Dimock, Pennsylvania, and I’m not speaking of natural gas, methane migration, contamination, litigation or even the extensive water testing there by the EPA and others.  No, I’m talking about a new “Watergate” conspiracy, complete with 18 minutes of missing tape (well, video, actually). It seems the ever-present Green Party member and  naturist   Vera Scroggins  (a/k/a  Vera Duerga ) has posted a video of Craig Sautner meeting with the EPA.  Mysteriously, the video is but 14 seconds in length, cutting off conversation in what is obviously mid-stream.  It raises a question Craig Sautner, like  Ronald Reagan in Kings Row , might have asked, “Where’s the rest of me?’  Carter Road, isn’t Kings Row, of course, (at least not until you arrive at  the mansion Scott Ely, one of the Dimock litigants, is building with his royalty money ), but there appears to be...

The Second Largest Oil and Gas Merger - Cabot and Cimarex

By -

       Due to investor pressure, the U.S shale drillers are being pushed to improve financial and operational performance after a few years of poor returns. Even though the industry has improved its numbers, when compared to last year, investors still want more to be done for them to earn more money.      That's why two mid-tier shale drillers, Cabot and Climarex, have decided to merge in order to eliminate $100 million in annual costs, which means more money for the investors. This all-stock transaction is valued at about $7.4 billion, which is relatively high for the oil and gas sector.      The new entity will be renamed and the headquarters located in Houston, Texas. Cabot shareholders will own 49.5 percent of the new entity, and Climarex the rest.       The Cimarex-Cabot merger will address the investor's demand for a higher amount of returning cash. The initial plan is to pay a 50-cent-per-share special dividen...

Do You Know The History of Fracking?

By -

  In 2018, 59% of total oil production in the U.S came from hydraulic fracking, which means it accounted for more than two-thirds of domestically manufactured gas. By 2024, fracking will reach an astounding $68 billion market value! Of course, fracking is not a new drilling method as you can trace it back hundreds of years. That's why we want to consider the history of hydraulic fracturing (fracking). We will be stating historical facts about it and focusing on the major historical occurrences that have influenced modern-day fracking. Pre-Fracking Days The idea of fracking started back in 1862 when Edward A.L. Roberts (Civil War veteran) witnessed Confederate soldiers exploding artillery rounds into a canal that obstructed a battlefield. At the time, Edward A.L. Roberts called it superincumbent fluid tamping. On April 26th, 1865, Edward A.L. Roberts began experimenting with exploding torpedoes, which consisted of lowering a torpedo containing an amount of powder from fifteen to tw...
