"One of those companies is Sabre Technical Services LLC in Slingerlands. The company has rigs that clean and recycle millions of gallons of water needed to extract natural gas from deep rock formations in Texas, Arkansas, Wyoming, Oklahoma and other states. Sabre Technical Services LLC in Slingerlands operates five $1 million rigs that purify water contaminated by hyrdofracking."
Sabre has contracts with Occidental Petroleum Corp., Chesapeake Energy Corp., Apache Corp., Exxon and other energy giants, creating 100 jobs, about 20 of which are at the company headquarters. “We have 20 years of history with hydrofracking,” said John Mason, chairman and chief technology officer. “It’s the biggest market opportunity now.”
