TX Frac Fluid Disclosure Law

Written by Greg Russell | Jun 21, 2011 11:26:04 AM

Signed by Texas Gov. Rick Perry, HB 3328 becomes effective September 1, 2011, requiring operators to disclose the chemicals used in their hydraulic fracturing operations.  For a copy of the legislation, and its history, see here.

Interestingly, it relies on the FracFocus registry created by the Ground Water Protection Council and the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission.
