Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has developed and demonstrated a new coupled fluid flow, heat flow and geomechanical computer simulator. This simulator can now be used to simulate hydraulic fracturing of tight and shale gas systems. The results of this article, combined with other information, will inform the draft assessment report on the potential impacts of hydraulic fracturing on drinking water resources.You will need Adobe Reader to view some of the files on this page.
