YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio -- A new book by Wall Street Journal reporter Gregory Zuckerman profiles shale industry pioneers such as Aubrey McClendon, one of the “new billionaire wildcatters,” according to the book’s subtitle.
The book was reviewed Sunday in The Oklahoman and Saturday in The New York Times.
McClendon, the former CEO of Chesapeake Energy Corp., is again active in the unconventional oil and gas industry, raising some $1.7 billion to fund exploration by his new company, American Energy Partners LP.
States The Times’ review, “The Frackers” is a good, solid read for anyone interested in fracking or the oil and natural gas industry.”
