Synopsis

Hydraulic fracturing has helped the U.S. become the largest producer of oil and a leading producer of natural gas. With the recent expansion of these production techniques, so does the need to understand the legal issues raised by hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. This book identifies the relevant transactional, regulatory, and litigation issues while also providing practical suggestions to lawyers representing clients in real property transactions. Topics include: the types of fracturing; competing property rights; environmental issues, including water supply, underground water quality, climate and air issues; federal, state, and local environmental regulation; induced seismicity; litigation; subsurface trespass; and international issues.
