WHY IS HYRAULIC FRACTURING A CONTINUING ISSUE?
•Exploration in formerly non producing areas •Severed mineral vs. surface rights •The process seems mysterious •Trade secret claims •Shortage of accurate public information •Misinformation by the media

Why FracFocus?
• Growth in high volume hydraulic fracturing
• Federal intervention into state issues (FRAC Act)
• Desire by states to provide transparency to the public

FracFocus • What is it?
– The ONLY nationwide source of hydraulic fracturing chemical, informational and regulatory information.
• What is its purpose? – FracFocus provides transparency through a national Web
site that discloses hydraulic fracturing chemical data and information.
• How did it start – Joint-partnership formed in 2010 between two state’s
organizations: Ground Water Protection Council and Interstate Oil & Gas Compact Commission
![Page 7: FracFocus- THE National Hydraulic Fracturing Disclosure ...7eee3e7e30c73587771b...For Indian lands, the hydraulic fracturing fluid constituents, once they arrived on the lease, complied](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050100/5f3f5efac5abeb53783e50fb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What FracFocus does and does not do?
• What FracFocus does. – Provides the ONLY national source for hydraulic fracturing chemical
information authorized by state government agencies – Acts as the means for regulatory reporting in 20 (soon 21) states – Provides landowners with extensive information about the chemicals used in
the hydraulic fracturing of individual wells – Notifies state government regulatory agencies when disclosures are received – Shows locations of disclosures using a Google Maps® style interface
• What FracFocus does not do. – Act as a regulatory program – Act as a well drilling and completion reporting system – Make regulatory decisions regarding reporting parameters or trade secrets

Step 2
Concurrent with drilling, layers of pipe called casing strings are placed in the hole. Each string of casing is cemented into the hole to prevent migration of fluids from one zone to another. Read more…..
Constructing the Well
Each casing string is run to a specific depth to isolate zones from succeeding drilling and completion processes.

• Initially, chemical data entry into the registry by the oil and gas companies was voluntary, but in the first year of operation, several states adopted regulations requiring data on the chemicals used in frac fluids to be disclosed – Many of those states specifically referenced FracFocus
as the mechanism for submitting those data • The number of wells for which chemical
information was entered grew quickly – By the end of 2012, data had been entered on more
than 34,000 wells, representing 342 companies
FracFocus 1.0

FracFocus 2.0 • FracFocus 1.0 was developed to fill an important
gap in public disclosure information – The programming and system design were done in a
way that allowed FracFocus 1.0 to get underway quickly in early 2011
• As the volume of information entered into the system grew, industry, GWPC, and IOGCC realized that a more efficient data management system was needed – This led to the development of FracFocus 2.0 during
2012 and early 2013

Establishment of a policy for data custody, management, security, and retention • FracFocus is being updated to comply with
current versions of software • Penetration testing has been preformed and
an extra layer of security has been installed to prevent malicious internet attacks
• Google analytics has been added to help manage the web site and internet traffic

FracFocus amended and original record retention policy
• All records, originals and amended, are permanently stored in the FracFocus database (does not include all FracFocus 1.0 records)
• FracFocus 3.0 has a redundant backup system to ensure that all records are retained
• All current records will be available in digital format for download from FracFocus by May 2015 – Limitations:
• FracFocus 1.0 records have header data only • Records from June 1, 2013 on have chemical data • FracFocus cannot warrant the accuracy of records because we are
not allowed to review and modify records submitted under regulatory requirements
