What are these addatives for

It would be useful if these additives could be categorized by their purpose, and what kind of drilling they are used in (water well fracking, vertical shale, horizontal shale, vertical oil, ...). Also toxicity, year of first use, amount needed (using some sensible measure - possibly the percentage of the fluid not water and not sand.)

Nice would be an assessment of the effect of leaving out the component: mean time to failure, duration of failure, cost to fix failure - is there a way to avoid the failure other than by using a fluid component? ( Martin | talk • contribs 17:24, 16 September 2012 (UTC))[reply]

That would be very useful indeed! Anyone feel free to start this task, thanks! Syced (talk) 09:49, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment on usage

As long as we can't see a list of HOW MUCH is used of each of these chemicals it is not so relevant to have the list. Cellulose and citrate are completely harmless while many of the others are not. If most of the tonnage is pottasium chloride, that's very relevant, as it is a normal food grade chemical. 90.185.104.166 (talk) 21:33, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Shale gas development and population density.

This information on population density was removed from the article by Kennywpara.[6]. It needs to be moved to either Shale gas if not already included there in some form or another, or edited to remove the US comparison and placed Shale gas in the United Kingdom. The new link for the citation is here(PDF)

The difference is that in the UK shale gas extraction may be nearer much greater densities of populations compared to the US resulting in much more noticeable impact.^[1]

This was from a dated report from CIWEM that is a dead link. It has nothing to do with chemical usage and permissions which is what this page is all about. References like that could be in other sections of an article on environmental impact, however those sections have up to date information. Kennywpara (talk) 07:10, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Here is something from CIWEM more recent and relevant, @LutherBlissetts: Luther Blissetts regarding the US EPA report. link It identifies many potential areas of pollution, but these are the areas where the RAE report and the HSE have been involved to ensure these risks do not become events. Pollution by deep fracking in a properly sealed well is not mentioned. Kennywpara (talk) 07:55, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Kennywpara, Please let's continue this discussion on the appropriate talk page. Thank you. Luther Blissetts (talk) 21:19, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on List of additives for hydraulic fracturing. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20131004213846/http://democrats.energycommerce.house.gov/sites/default/files/documents/Hydraulic-Fracturing-Chemicals-2011-4-18.pdf to http://democrats.energycommerce.house.gov/sites/default/files/documents/Hydraulic-Fracturing-Chemicals-2011-4-18.pdf

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.
