The intent of this course is to provide a correct and balanced view of fracturing underground rock with fluids in order to release a product to produce energy. The concept of using water to do work is nothing new. Pumping fluid below ground to fracture rock in order to release gaseous petroleum is a new process.

In this course we will explore production development, fracture characteristics, well casing and cementing, and well integrity including a case study. We will also cover contamination concerns, issues for the public safety, frack fluids, and a comprehensive review of Safety Data Sheets.
