Lowering their fracking profile after a bungled blending blast, this self-proclaimed master fracker can now be found hawking "cleaner fracs through chemistry".

MULTI-CHEM: LESS BRAGGING ABOUT FRACKING?

A few days ago we issued a release about Multi-Chem - Halliburton's newly-acquired oilfield production chemicals and fracking subsidiary - that included the following:

"Multi-Chem describes itself as 'the global leader in EGR' - where EGR stands for Enhanced Gas Recovery technologies such as hydraulic fracture stimulation, also called hydraulic fracturing, known and loathed by many of us as 'fracking', but referred to by dirty energy insiders as simply 'frac'. Prior to its acquisition by Halliburton last October, being a frac specialist – with an extensive network of storage facilities and a fleet of frac trucks filled with ecosystem-destroying amalgams of toxic frac fluids and poisonous frac additives – made Multi-Chem one of the largest oil & gas production chemical companies in the world. Their 'success' had little to do with any questionable claims they 'Think Safety'."

The content of that paragraph was drawn from the 29-slide "Multi-Chem 2011 Capabilities Presentation" that we linked in with this tiny URL...

...which then looked like this...

...but now looks like this...

...and a lot like their removed "Hydraulic Fracturing in Unconventional Shale Plays" presentation:

Looks like "the global leader in EGR" is actively lowering their online profile for hydraulic fracturing. But don't think for a moment that Multi-Chem the Frac King is no longer fracking - at least not while their home page looks like this:

Perhaps they've just been given a reason not to brag about it so much:
