RE: I don't recall this statement being present on When the company announced the receIpt of a drilling license for the Haldiman No. 3 well on Dec. 13, 2011, it was clearly stated in the Press Release that fracking (stimulation) is not required.
Therefore any prior comments about ground water contamination, etc. are moot. Haldiman will be developed as a conventional oil project due to natural fractures in the reservoir.
