What is Hydraulic Fracturing and How Does It Work?

• Stimulates a well to increase oil or gas production. • Each fracture job is engineered to be the most effective and stay in the pay zone. • Procedure done after the well is drilled, before it is put on pump. • Water and sand, along with other additives, are mixed then pumped

below ground to fracture the producing rock matrix. Water and sand make up 98% of the fluid pumped into the formation; other additives, 2%.

• A proppant is introduced, generally fine grained sand. Fractures are then held open by the sand, allowing the natural gas previously trapped

to flow to the wellbore and be collected at the surface. • “Slick water treatment” is introduced to increase viscosity. • Flowback fluids empty into tanks or pits that are then disposed of

properly.

Kansas was the first in the nation, a well frac in Grant County in 1947 by Stanolind Oil Company.

Are Hydraulic Fracture Jobs Performed in Kansas?

• Conventional Wells – Vertical wells in sandstones and carbonates

• Coalbed Methane Wells- Southeast Kansas

• Niobrara Chalk Wells- Northwest Kansas

• Horizontal Wells

• Utilized in saltwater disposal wells for increased disposal

• Increase enhanced oil recovery performance

• Used in gas storage wells to increase deliverability 3

Who Regulates Hydraulic Fracturing in Kansas and How?

16

By regulating the oil and gas exploration industry since the 1930’s the KCC has developed sound regulations to protect surface water, groundwater and correlative rights. The 85 full-time employees (geologists, engineers, technical staff, attorneys and field inspectors) who work in the Conservation Division enforce these regulations by witnessing, inspecting and permitting drilling, well-completion and production throughout the state.

• Surface pipe regulations

• Production casing regulations

• Well-cementing requirements

• Intent-to-drill process

• Well spacing requirements

• Pit permitting process

• Well completion reporting requirements

•Permit injection wells used for disposal of flowback water


What is Happening on the National Level? • The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is beginning an expansive

new three-year study, including water quantity and water handling, issues which conflict with State’s jurisdiction. The conflict was recognized in Kansas House Resolution on Hydraulic Fracturing. The EPA’s published timeline states it will issue interim results by the end of 2012 with a final report to follow in 2014

• The Interstate Oil & Gas Compact Commission (IOGCC) and the Ground Water Protection Council (GWPC) voiced opposition to the EPA study saying a comprehensive study was done in 2004. The study concluded injection of hydraulic fracturing fluids poses little or no threat to underground sources of drinking water. The two groups argue the states are doing an adequate job as there have been no recorded cases of contamination from fracing.

• IOGCC and GWPC have developed a chemical reporting web portal called frac focus.

Kansas Corporation Commission What Are Other States Doing? • Wyoming and Arkansas passed regulations which

require the reporting of the chemical components.

• Oklahoma re-arranged its regulations to form a separate hydraulic fracturing section.

• Texas legislature passed a law which requires operators to use the “frac focus” website for disclosure.

• Alabama, Oklahoma, Wyoming and Louisiana legislatures have passed hydraulic fracturing resolutions, generally stating hydraulic fracturing is beneficial.
