New Tracers Identify Hydraulic Fracturing Fluids and Accidental Releases from Oil and Gas Operations

Identifying the geochemical fingerprints of fluids that return to the surface after high volume hydraulic fracturing of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs has important applications for assessing hydrocarbon resource recovery, environmental impacts, and wastewater treatment and disposal. Here, we...
