UNDERGROUND INJECTION WELLS: PAST, PRESENT, FUTURESponsored by Parsons Brinckerhoff

Operators in the Marcellus Shale Basin are currently recycling about 90 percent of the flowback from hydraulic fracturing (frac fluids), which at some point, may become too expensive to recycle and will need to be disposed of safely and economically. This panel will explore the barriers to broader utilization of safe frac fluid sequestration in the state where it is generated; the tradeoffs between trucking and piping frac fluids; current regulatory programs; ongoing research to decrease the chances of environmental damage

and the political oversight process. The panelists will discuss challenges faced by operators, public concerns for safety and environmental protection, the need for responsible regulatory oversight and the desire by all to eliminate accidents and irresponsible behavior.
