The Process
![Page 3: Moving Beyond Misinformation: Education and Engagement.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551abc8d55034606048b474a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Misperception: Hydraulic Fracturing is Injecting Fluids
into Groundwater

Casing
Multiple layers surrounding the aquifer Cement Conductor Casing Cement Surface Casing Drilling Mud/Cement Production Casing Production Tubing

Surface Casing Purpose
• Protect ground water• Provide stable wellbore
during drilling operation• Provide well control during
drilling Depth Requirements
• Set by State and BLM regulations
• Extends below the aquifer Cement Helps
• Protect casing from corrosion
• Provide zonal isolation• Support casing in wellbore
![Page 7: Moving Beyond Misinformation: Education and Engagement.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551abc8d55034606048b474a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Production Casing Purpose
• Provide zonal isolation• Provide well control• Well path to productive
intervals Cement Requirements
• Set by State regulations• Set by BLM regulations• Operator requirements
Cement Helps• Protect casing from
corrosion• Support casing in
wellbore

Misperception: Drilling and Hydraulic Fracturing Uses Too
Much Water

Misperception: There is No Data Showing Groundwater is
Protected

COGCC Groundwater complaints
Hundreds of complaints No verified instances of hydraulic fracturing
harming groundwater in Colorado Water sampling
Since 2000, baseline and periodic water sampling for over 2,000 water wells in the San Juan Basin
Independently verified; no significant increase in chemical concentrations
