This book addresses the need for deeper understanding of regulatory
and policy regimes around the world in relation to the use of water
for the production of 'unconventional' hydrocarbons, including
shale gas, coal bed methane and tight oil, through hydraulic
fracturing. Legal, policy, political and regulatory issues
surrounding the use of water for hydraulic fracturing are present
at every stage of operations. Operators and regulators must
understand the legal, political and hydrological contexts of their
surroundings, procure water for use in the fracturing and
extraction processes, gain community cooperation or confront social
resistance around water, collect flow back and produced water, and
dispose of these wastewaters safely. By analysing and comparing
different approaches to these issues from around the globe, this
volume gleans insights into how policy, best practices and
regulation may be developed to advance the interests of all
stakeholders. While it is not always possible to easily transfer
'good practice' from one place to another, there is value in
examining and understanding the components of different legal and
regulatory regimes, as these may assist in the development of
better regulatory law and policy for the rapidly growing
unconventional energy sector. The book takes an interdisciplinary
approach and includes chapters looking at water-energy nexus
security in general, along with issue-focused and
geographically-focused case studies written by scholars from around
the world. Chapter topics, organized in conjunction with the stage
of the shale gas production process upon which they touch, include
the implications of hydraulic fracturing for agriculture,
municipalities, and other stakeholders competing for water
supplies; public opinion regarding use of water for hydraulic
fracturing; potential conflicts between hydraulic fracturing and
water as a human right; prevention of induced seismic activity, and
the disposal or recycling of produced water. Several chapters also
discuss implications of unconventional energy production for
indigenous communities, particularly as regards sustainable water
management. This volume will be of interest to scholars and
students of energy and water, regulators and policymakers and
operators interested in ensuring that they align with emergent best
global practice.
