ConocoPhillips Research Reports
On September 2, 2014, Zacks reported that ConocoPhillips has entered into a settlement with Green Dragon Gas Ltd. (Dragon Gas) under which the Company would receive $40 million as the final settlement to give up all claims from Green Dragon on various proceedings in multiple jurisdictions. Zacks further reported that the appeal hearing which was scheduled in November 2014, has been withdrawn, thus closing the matter. In August 2009, Green Dragon had received $42.6 million from ConocoPhillips under a farm-out agreement, and used the funds for further reserve development and drilling of gas production wells on the Shizhuang South block, and exploration activities within the Shizhuang North and Qinyuan blocks.

The Dow Chemical Company Research Reports
On September 3, 2014, The Dow Chemical Company (Dow) reported that a power station in Alberta is using an innovative two-pass reverse osmosis (RO) design that includes DOW FILMTEC™ ECO 440i Reverse Osmosis elements and DOW FILMTEC™ XFRLE-400/34i Reverse Osmosis elements, developed by Dow Water & Process Solutions (a business unit of Dow), that keeps the power station operational despite challenging source water. The Company informed that since the lake source water at the power station is derived from a combination of the North Saskatchewan River, mine drainage, plant site drainage, sewage effluent and chemical neutralization ponds, the system requires thicker feed spacer elements to reduce fouling rates, and to lower the pressure drop in the first pass. The Company stated that since installation, FILMTEC ECO elements have resulted in 30% more energy savings in the system's second pass and FILMTEC XFRLE has improved overall pressure drops and fouling.
