⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr AS A POTENTIAL FINGERPRINT FOR DETERMINING THE PROVENANCE OF TOTAL DISSOLVED SOLIDS ASSOCIATED WITH HYDRAULIC FRACTURING ACTIVITIES IN THE BARNETT SHALE, TEXAS
(2016-05-11)
Over the last decade there has been a dramatic increase in unconventional drilling that utilizes hydraulic fracturing to extract oil and gas. The Barnett Shale in north central Texas has been a significant contributor to ...
Geomechanical Analysis of Rock Brittleness with Comparisons to the Mineralogical Brittleness Index
(2016-05)
A significant area of research within the Oil and Gas industry centers around the understanding of rock brittleness and fracture mechanics related to inducing and extending hydraulic fractures. This study defines rock ...
ANALYTICAL METHODS FOR SOLVING COMPLEX PROBLEMS IN FOOD AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
(2019-08-28)
Complex samples can be challenging for analysis in a number of different ways. Food and environmental samples can be particularly difficult due to their non-uniformity from sample to sample, possible unknown contents, and ...
TREATMENTS OF CONTAMINANTS FROM HYDRAULIC FRACTURING: A STUDY OF THE ATTITUDES OF PROFESSIONALS TOWARDS THE USE OF PHYTOREMEDIATION METHODS IN TARRANT COUNTY
(2021-05-07)
Hydraulic fracturing poses challenges to the environmental stability of the areas surrounding a hydraulic fracturing site due to exposure to the byproducts of the hydraulic fracturing process. (Rahm, 2011; Perry, Sutton, ...
