The station will serve the fuelling needs of heavy duty truck fleets and is open for public use.

The station is currently being utilised by Heckmann Water Resources (HWR), which recently ordered 200 new LNG big-rig trucks, 50 of which have been deployed to date.

US-based Heckmann Corporation, a parent company to HWR, provides water management services to Encana and other producers in the Haynesville resource play.

Encana also recently secured a contract with Pivotal LNG to provide LNG to consumers and will create further opportunities for natural gas in the transportation sector.

The company owns and operates four mobile LNG fuelling stations with two in Louisiana and six compressed natural gas stations.
