they drill and pave and many times upgrade the county and township roads they use to service their rigs. During the drilling and fracking several thousand sand and water trucks reduce the road back to dust by the time they finish. The drillers do repave the roads when they are finished though. Now the main state roads they are also destroyed and I don't know if the state gets compensated for
that that.
