Environmental Readings Bulletin Volumen 07: Storage and final disposal of wastewater from shale gas extraction

Submitted by Marta Laura Carranza on 11 June 2018

One of the main concerns regarding the extraction of unconventional hydrocarbons is the storage and final disposal of wastewater from hydraulic fracturing. Part of that concern is the lack of knowledge about what is going to be done with these wastewater: a valid concern due to the physicochemical characteristics of it. There is a whole existing normativity in this topic and it is clear that many of these guidelines have been used in the industry for several years.
