Hydraulic Fracturing: Selected Legal Issues : 9781503276956

Its use along with horizontal drilling has been responsible for an increase in estimated U.S. oil and natural gas reserves.

Several environmental statutes have implications for the regulation of hydraulic fracturing by the federal government and states.
