DRILLING ALERTS
French fracking giant Total Energies and other companies are aggressively drilling once again throughout Tarrant County. This is despite an already high concentration of drilling in the county, which has childhood asthma rates well above the national average, and despite strong community opposition in Arlington.
What's happening now?
Current drilling activities are posted on the City of Arlington's website. This includes workover rigs at existing sites.
