As unconventional oil and natural gas production continues to expand, companies throughout the country are looking to import Oklahoma’s energy expertise.
Horizontal drilling, hydraulic fracturing, water disposal and many of the other complex and more controversial oil and natural gas activities have been used in one form or another in Oklahoma and Texas for decades.
Other states are now trying to develop that knowledge.
The demand has been strong enough to lead United Airlines to begin offering new nonstop flights between Oklahoma City’s Will Rogers World Airport and Cleveland, Ohio’s, Hopkins International Airport.
