MILLION TREATMENTS of hydraulic fracturing since 1947

1 Water Acquisition: large volumes of water are withdrawn from ground and surface water resources to be used in the HF process. > Change in quantity of water available for drinking 2 Chemical Mixing: the acquired water is combined with chemical additives and proppant to make the HF fluid. > Release to water through on-site spills and leaks 3



MILLION GALLONS of water used to fracture a well



CHEMICAL ADDITIVES used within the fracking fluids

Well Injection: fluid is injected into the well, creating cracks in the geological formation that allow oil or gas to escape through the well. > Potential impacts on drinking water resources 4 Flowback: fluid, formation water and natural gas begin to flow back up the well and must be stored on-site before treatment or disposal. > Release to water through spills from on-site storage 5 Wastewater Treatment and Waste Disposal: disposal by underground injection, treatment followed by disposal to surface water bodies or recycling for use in future HF operations. > Contaminants reaching drinking water
