Nuverra Environmental Solutions Shareholder Lawsuit

On July 30, 2013, Nuverra issued a press release informing investors that the company’s operational performance lagged far behind the expected earnings of the financial community. Furthermore, a week later, on August 8, the company issued another press release disclosing new facts about the company’s significant financial shortfall.  

Upon publication of news of the Nuverra’s heavy losses, the company’s shares plummeted approximately 13 percent, according to financial analysts.

Nuverra claims to be an “environmental solutions company.” Its primary business is providing oil and gas companies with fresh water to be used for hydraulic fracturing (commonly referred to as “fracking”). Fracking is a controversial drilling technique that involves injecting large amounts of water, which is mixed with sand and chemicals, into underground shale formations to release oil and natural gas. Nuverra also collects wastewater that has been pumped back up to the surface after it has been injected into fracking wells, so that the water can be treated and reused. Nuverra provides these services to fracking companies in several large shale regions throughout the United States, including the Eagle Ford shale area in South Texas and the Marcellus shale region in West Virginia and Pennsylvania.  

News of the company’s deteriorating financial condition has caused shareholders to question the conduct of Nuverra’s senior management. Nuverra executives may have failed to inform the investment community in a timely manner that the company was facing serious liquidity problems. These claims are supported by the fact that senior executives made positive statements about the company’s cash position while the company was allegedly suffering from liquidity issues.
