Hydraulic Fracturing Impacts and Technologies: A Multidisciplinary
Perspective serves as an introduction to hydraulic fracturing and
provides balanced coverage of its benefits and potential negative
effects. Presenting a holistic assessment of hydraulic fracturing
and its environmental impacts, this book chronicles the history and
development of unconventional oil and gas production and describes
the risks associated with the use of these technologies. More
specifically, it addresses hydraulic fracturing's use and
dependence on large amounts of water as a fracturing medium. It
examines the limits of reusing flowback and produced water,
explores cost-effective ways to clean or effectively dispose of
water used in fracturing, and provides suggestions for the
efficient use, discovery, and recycle potential of non-potable
water. Utilizing a team of experts from industry and academia, the
text provides readers with a multiple lens approach-incorporating
various perspectives and solutions surrounding this evolving
technology. This book: Leads with an overview of hydraulic
fracturing operations and technologies Considers a variety of legal
issues associated with hydraulic fracturing Summarizes human health
and environmental risks associated with hydraulic fracturing
operations Discusses the analytes chosen by researchers as possible
indicators of groundwater contamination from unconventional
drilling processes Presents strategies for reducing the freshwater
footprint of hydraulic fracturing Discusses water treatment
technologies and solutions to recycle and reuse produced waters,
and more Hydraulic Fracturing Impacts and Technologies: A
Multidisciplinary Perspective brings together experts from
disciplines that include petroleum, civil, and environmental
engineering; environmental sciences chemistry toxicology; law;
media; and communications; and provides readers with a
multidisciplinary outlook and unbiased, scientifically credible
solutions to issues surrounding hydraulic fracturing operations.
