US Regulations Impacting Operators in HPHT Shale Gas Drilling and Production
This presentation explores several categories of regulations and related rules and compares and contrasts the categories across several different states, focusing on HPHT shale and other tight rock developments. The execution of these regulations is explored in several case histories. These categories include fracture fluid disclosure, waste management involving cuttings and fluids, and concerns surrounding cementing, casing, minerals rights, air, and ground water quality.
