`, 13 December 2011 (UTC)  ::The lead sentence should be a brief, accurate, and NPOV definition of the subject.  The  current opening words of the article are imprecise. Range is an independent (as opposed to vertically integrated major) oil and gas exploration and production (as opposed to an oil and gas pipeline company, or a gas utility) company.  This is no more than the standard terminology (see NY Times definition of the company in the infobox - hardly a source biased toward Range).  Perhaps a fair secoond sentence might be something like: ``Range is best known for its lead role in applying hydraulic fracturing (``fracking``) techniques to produce gas from the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania, which has generated considerable controversy.``  That way, we have an accurate description, and do not duck the controversy.    21:06`
