On Water... Organic Contaminants

After a little hiatus, we are back with part two of our series on flowback water treatment issues and technology. After water, sand and dissolved solids the next are of interest to all are the free and dissolved hydrocarbons present in the flowback and producted water.


The driller actually adds very little of these compounds into the frac liquids going down the well. While no recipe is the same, the only real hydrocarbons used today tend to be the glycols used…

Gas firms get environmental warning as Marcellus drilling grows

Gas firms get environmental warning as Marcellus drilling grows was an article I sat aside and today I picked it up again. As I was rereading this article written by Rick Stouffer on May 4, 2010 about a Marcellus Shale meeting held at Duquesne University. I was at first amused, then angered by the repeated comments made by John Hanger, PA Department of Environmental Protection Secretary about the 180,000 acres…

On Water... Treating Flowback and Produced Water Part 1

A severe criticism leveled at industry (and me frankly) has been that the water resources used in hydraulic fracturing where not being treated and are difficult if not impossible to economically treat. In response to these criticisms I felt that it was important to lay out to the readers some of the issues related to frack water and the types of treatment that are NOW being used in the field. This is a voluminous subject so I will break it down into the constituent parts and take on each… Continue

What are people saying about the "American Power Act" whose sponsors include Senators John Kerry (D-MA) and Joseph Lieberman (I-CT)

T. Boone Pickens

“Senators Kerry and Lieberman are to be commended for a plan that recognizes the economic and national security threat of our ever-increasing dependence on foreign oil, particularly OPEC oil. Achieving energy security is not easy and I applaud their focus on a broad energy package that includes replacing foreign oil/diesel/gasoline with cleaner, abundant domestic natural gas in America’s heavy duty vehicle fleets. I look forward to working with them in the coming weeks to… Continue
