- Sunday, 30 October 2011 11:28 What is flowback, and how does it differ from produced water? Posted by Ric Termine Flowback is a water based solution that flows back to the surface during and after the completion of hydraulic fracturing. It consists of the fluid used to fracture the Marcellus shale. The fluid contains clays, chemical...
- Sunday, 30 October 2011 11:18 What is Produced Water? Posted by Ric Termine Produced water is any water that is conveyed to the surface from an oil or gas reservoir during oil and gas production. This water will be from one or more of the following sources: > Connate...
