Local supplier provides environmental solutions to customers

Vienna, Ohio, December 15 2014 -- Millwood Natural, the premiere local supplier of environmental containment products to the Marcellus and Utica shale industry, is expanding to meet the demands of the ever-growing oil and gas industry. The company hired two additional team members to better serve regions in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

Ben Timmons and Amy Giovannone were hired to handle business development. In the coming year, they will work to develop stronger relationships with industry leaders. Each brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the company.

Carrie Hughes has also joined Millwood Natural’s business development team. No stranger to Millwood, Hughes was previously a member of Millwood Inc.’s regional sales team.

“My goal is to secure the confidence of the oil and gas industry that Millwood Natural will produce quality products with customer services that demonstrate integrity,” Timmonssaid. “I am excited to join the Millwood Family and develop Millwood Natural to an even larger scale.”

Millwood Natural offers several products such as crane mats, new and used pipeline skids, silt socks, straw wattles and containment stakes.

Crane mats provide temporary roadways for environmental protection and can withstand the weight of heavy machinery. Pipeline skids, new and used, help to secure equipment and loads as they are transported and stored at work sites. In order to control erosion, silt socks and straw wattles are used to filter and direct water flow and sediment deposits. Containment stakes in 24”, 28’’, 36’’, and 48” sizes hold and position erosion control products.

While the product offerings are common for the industry, Millwood Natural is positioned to provide a greater level of customer service and convenience to customers with its quick turn-around and local connections. With its recent expansion, Millwood Natural is prepared to grow with the shale industry and provide products to even more locations.

“Millwood Natural prides itself on fast turn-around for its many local customers in the Marcellus and Utica shale regions,” said Joe Pecchia, Director—Strategic Account & Technology Development. “Our central location allows our customers to save time and money with shorter lead times and inexpensive freight costs.”

Millwood Natural uses high-quality hardwoods for crane mats, pipeline skids and containment stakes to ensure a longer product life.

Standard sizes are available for purchase immediately. Millwood Natural can produce custom sized dragline mats, pipeline skids and silt socks to meet individual requirements.

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

       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...
