Hydraulic Fracturing (fracking)
Hydraulic Fracturing & the Marcellus Shale: How the Process Works
Hydraulic fracturing (fracking) combined with horizontal drilling has unlocked vast natural gas reserves in the Marcellus Shale. This post walks through the step-by-step process — from drilling and perforation to fluid injection, proppants, and flowback water management.

Hydraulic Fracturing Chemicals: Usage, Composition & Disclosure
Hydraulic fracturing fluids are mostly water and sand, but the chemical additives — friction reducers, biocides, scale inhibitors, and more — raise important water quality questions. This post breaks down fluid composition, common chemicals, PFAS concerns, and how disclosure works through FracFocus.
