U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Study of the Potential Impacts of Hydraulic Fracturing on Drinking Water Resources, December 2012. BOSTON PACIFIC COMPANY, INC.

  9. I. THE SHALE GAS REVOLUTION (UPDATE) Water Use in Hydraulic Fracturing Operations Hydraulic fracturing fluids are usually water-based, with approximately 90% of the injected fluid composed of water. Estimates of water needs per well have been reported to range from 65,000 gallons for coalbed methane (CBM) production up to 13 million gallons for shale gas production…Five million gallons of water are equivalent to the water used by approximately 50,000 people for one day. (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Study of the Potential Impacts of Hydraulic Fracturing, 14. Internal citation omitted.) Water Acquisition Chemical Mixing Once onsite, water is mixed with chemicals to create the hydraulic fracturing fluid that is pumped down the well…The fluid serves two purposes: to create pressure to propagate fractures and to carry the proppant into the fracture…Roughly 1% of water-based hydraulic fracturing fluids are composed of various chemicals… (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Study of the Potential Impacts of Hydraulic Fracturing, 15.) Well Injection The hydraulic fracturing fluid is pumped down the well at pressures great enough to fracture the oil- or gas-containing rock formation… (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Study of the Potential Impacts of Hydraulic Fracturing, 16.) BOSTON PACIFIC COMPANY, INC.

  10. I. THE SHALE GAS REVOLUTION (UPDATE) Water Use in Hydraulic Fracturing Operations (Continued) When the injection pressure is reduced, the direction of fluid flow reserves, leading to the recovery of flowback and produced water. For this study, “flowback” is the fluid returned to the surface after hydraulic fracturing has occurred, but before the well has been placed into production… They are collectively referred to as “hydraulic fracturing wastewater”… (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Study of the Potential Impacts of Hydraulic Fracturing, 18.) Flowbackand Produced Water Wastewater Treatment and Waste Disposal Estimates of the fraction of hydraulic fracturing wastewater recovered vary by geologic formation and range from 10% to 70% of the injected hydraulic fracturing fluid.
