Are you saying that the vehicles are specially designed to take gas right out of the ground

No.

that the portable CNG trucks have to take their CNG to a secondary refiner before it can be used

No.

They are doing some processing on site. They only briefly talk about it at the web site:

I have been trying to find more detail.

Yeah, we’ve seen stories about this from time to time over the last two years or so.

I think I’ve seen numbers to the effect that the oil companies flare off something like 100 million in natural gas in the bakken. If they can capture that for fuel, there’ll be some real cost savings...maybe. If the cost of the capture doesn’t exceed the cost of the fuel.

I guess we don’t know whether this is a net added expense or net reduced cost.
