The white paper says: "The stimulation fluid was a slickwater treatment design with a low-concentration friction reducer additive." I know secrecy like this is par for the course in fracking, but it would certainly help them escape the stigma of fracking if they broke the taboo and started talking clearly about what crap they are pumping down into the ground. I think if they said, "we put this much of this stuff down the hole", it would help to understand what the risks are. For more information about what might be in their fracking liquid, see: https://petrowiki.spe.org/Fracturing_fluids_and_additives#Fracture-fluid_additives https://petrowiki.spe.org/Fracturing_fluids_and_additives#Fr... The friction reducers are often "anionic copolymers". For more information about how the friction reducer polymer degrades in the environment, see: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41545-018-0016-8/#Sec5 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41545-018-0016-8/#Sec5 I would like to know more about this. Is an expert can chime in with better references than these, I'd be grateful to read them.
