ABSTRACT

 

The issue of Previous HithydraulicNext Hit Previous HitfracturingNext Hit has raised many concerns from the public as well as government officials.  This paper will review the history and evolution of Previous HithydraulicNext Hit Previous HitfracturingNext Hit, including environmental and regulatory considerations.  Additionally, technical and environmental considerations applicable to Previous HithydraulicNext Hit Previous HitfracturingNext Hit in the unconventional arena of gas shales, with an emphasis on the Marcellus Shale of the Appalachians, will be presented.  Topics addressed in the paper will include discussions on:  (1) the process of Previous HithydraulicNext Hit Previous HitfracturingNext Hit; (2) the purposes and advantages of Previous HithydraulicNext Hit Previous HitfracturingNext Hit; (3) applicable design and engineering aspects of well completions; (4) geological considerations such as confinement of the Previous HitfracturingNext Hit process; (5) potential risks to groundwater and underground sources of drinking water; and (6) the use of Previous HithydraulicNext Hit Previous HitfracturingNext Hit fluids and associated technical considerations.
