Microbial Community Dynamics in the Hydraulic Fracturing Water Cycle from Two Newly Fractured Shale Gas Wells in the Duvernay Formation, Alberta
DownloadFall 2017
The microbial ecology of the hydraulic fracturing water cycle may influence the efficiency of shale gas production and strategies for water reuse and treatment. In this study, microbial community dynamics were tracked by sequencing of 16S rRNA genes coupled with enumeration of live/dead cells in...

Toxicological Characterization of Hydraulic Fracturing Flowback and Produced Water Exposures to Aquatic Organisms
DownloadFall 2021
Hydraulic fracturing is an unconventional oil and gas extraction method used to liberate oil and gas reserves from low permeability geological formations by injecting large quantities of fracturing fluid into the well-bore under high pressures. A by-product of this process is flowback and...
