Distance: A critical aspect for environmental impact assessment of hydraulic fracking
The Extractive Industries and Society, 2014Abstract Public concerns about hydraulic fracking are growing and scientists continue to analyze and evaluate its associated environmental impacts. However, a rigorous spatial analysis of environmental impacts is necessary to provide a perspective on risk based on proximity to fracking wells.

Abstract Objectives/Scope: The use of dissolvable metal technologies for use in downhole tools for the hydraulic fracking industry has expanded rapidly over the last few years. The dissolution rate of these alloys is known to be sensitive to the chemistry of the fracking fluids used.

Fracking Bad Guys: Narrative Character Affect in Public Opinion About Hydraulic Fracturing
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2017Recent growth in unconventional oil and gas development is controversial, fueling an ongoing U.S. policy debate. Central to these discussions is hydraulic fracturing, or ‘fracking’, a well-stimulation technique that has become synonymous with unconventional oil and gas extraction methods.

Proceedings, 2013
S-wave splitting (SWS) from microseismic events may be used to estimate anisotropy in the region around hydraulic fracture stimulations. The anisotropy can then be used to characterize the distribution of fractures in a reservoir. In addition to fracture orientation, SWS can be used to estimate the ratio of normal to tangential compliance (ZN/ZT).

Fracking Women: A Feminist Critical Analysis of Hydraulic Fracturing in Pennsylvania
International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics, 2017Hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”), a method of accessing natural gas, is viewed by many as a way to reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil, stimulate the U.S. economy, and address climate change. However, opponents of fracking argue that it is linked to health problems because it releases specific toxins that contaminate the air and ground water.

Fracking or Hydraulic Fracturing: How Media Shapes Public Perception and Regulatory Process
SPE Western Regional Meeting, 2015Abstract Bans or moratoria on hydraulic fracturing are in place or being considered worldwide. In large part, these actions stem from relatively data-free media presentations of risks associated with hydraulic fractions. Our objective is to analyze the influence of media and public perceptions in shaping policy related to hydraulic ...

Abstract Although proponents praise natural gas as a clean and abundant energy source, the varying impacts and uncertainties surrounding the process of extracting natural gas from unconventional sources, known as horizontal high-volume hydraulic fracturing (HVHF) or “fracking,” have raised important concerns.

Hydraulic fracturing and social media: getting the ?fracking? message across
2016Hydraulic fracturing, or ?fracking,? has gained prominence in past decades with an intense public relations battle between supporters and opponents. While one group highlights benefits, the other focuses on exposing concerns, but both attempt to drive discussion, shape public opinion and influence national policy. ?

Hydraulic fracking exposes shale plays to acidic hydraulic fracking fluid (HFF), releasing toxic uranium (U) along with the desired oil and gas. With no existing methods to ensure U remains sequestered in the shale, this study sought to add organic ligands to HFF to explore potential U retention in shale plays.
