What is Hydraulic Fracturing

 Long used form of well completion that along with
horizontal drilling has been a game changer for natural
gas development in the United States.
 Hydraulic fracturing is a process used in nine out of ten
natural gas wells in the United States, where water, sand
and chemicals are pumped underground to break apart
the rock and release the gas or oil.
 Horizontal drilling combined with multi-stage hydraulic
fracturing has brought the U.S. a 100-year supply of
natural gas.
 Hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling make
previously marginal reserves economically recoverable.
Hydraulic Fracturing Job

Water Sources

 Surface water
 Fresh water wells
 Municipal systems
 Reuse of flowback
 All from permitted sources
Flowback and Disposition Options

 Temporary storage (tanks or lined pits)
 Treatment at production facilities
 Class II disposal wells
 Commercial disposal wells
 Municipal or commercial treatment plants
 All permitted/approved by appropriate regulatory
agencies at the state level
Fracturing Fluids

 Many different formulation
depending on specifics of
formation being completed
 Fluids create fissures
 Fissures kept open with
propant (sand)
 Allow natural gas and oil to flow
