Conclusions Investigations can go sideways quickly – hire the right consultant to take to completion Frack fluid composition needs to be available to client Analyze for appropriate, targeted analytes Routine parameters not sufficient Target most soluble, most mobile, and highest concentration components Conclusions Trioxane was a polymer, likely the pump breaking down Toluene from electrical tape on pump No constituents from frack fluids detected in water samples Remaining analytes within normal limits Better characterization of well water would have helped Results Too much ‘bad’ data Timing of poor water quality still coincidence to fracking?
