One of the innovations that's going on very actively today is the reduction of regulated, or WHMIS-controlled, materials in our chemicals. There are ongoing efforts to minimize what are seen to be regulated materials that appear on MSDS sheets.
We are also improving our fluid systems' capabilities of using non-potable water. We recognize that fresh water is a precious and costly resource, and we're doing everything we can to maximize our use of other sources of water so as not to compete with others for that resource.
The nature of our industry has changed. Our equipment used to travel on the roads for 8 to 10 hours a day, show up at a customer's location, and perform services for two hours. The world has turned around. Our equipment goes down the road and it may remain on a customer's well pad for weeks, if not a couple of months, at a time, so we are reconfiguring our equipment to become transportable, rather than simply portable. This equipment would require fewer returns to base for maintenance and repair. We're also trying to reduce our impact on roads and improve our productivity.
Another example is fuelling. With equipment remaining on a site for weeks at a time, we are hauling diesel fuel to that equipment. We are exploring other fuelling sources for that equipment and trying to reduce the impacts and hazards associated with transporting the fuel.
I hope that—
