3 WHAT IS HYDRAULIC FRACTURING? WHAT IT IS NOT: A drilling process. Continuous injection of water and chemicals. WHAT IT IS: A mechanical process to increase permeability in rocks. Used to maximize the extraction of underground resources; including oil, natural gas, geothermal energy, and even water. Fluids, commonly made up of water (~99%) and chemical additives (~1%), are pumped into a geologic formation at high pressure during hydraulic fracturing. When the pressure exceeds the rock strength, the fluids open or enlarge fractures that can extend several hundred feet away from the well. (US EPA) Highly engineered, short-term, stimulation procedure. Gradual increase of pressure until fracture pressure of reservoir is exceeded.

28 Division Mandates supervisor shall so supervise the drilling, operation, maintenance, and abandonment of wells and the operation, maintenance, and removal or abandonment of tanks and facilities...so as to prevent, as far as possible, damage to life, health, property, and natural resources; damage to underground oil and gas deposits from infiltrating water prevent damage and waste to underground and surface waters
29 Division Mandates supervisor shall also supervise to permit the owners to utilize all methods and practices known to the industry for the purpose of increasing the ultimate recovery. To best meet oil and gas needs in this state, the supervisor shall administer this division so as to encourage the wise development of oil and gas resources.
