I am not expert by any stretch of the word, but my opinion is that Costs usually trump everything, when dealing with giant companies. I doubt Gasfrac will ever be as cheap as hydro frac, and as water recycling technologies improves, most of the water issues will be dealt with. With graphene on the horizon, which I believe Lockeed Martin is heavily researching to make revolutionary filtration, I forsee water issue becoming not a problem over the next decade or two. For those who don't know, one of the many amazing properties of graphene, is that ONLY water can permeate through it.
not to mention Halliburton will not just be pushed aside. You can bet your ass they will fight to keep their water tech on the forefront, and with a 47 Billion Market cap, they have a lot of sway in the industry and in gov't. I am personally not concerned about gasfrac.
