Halliburton fracking info, week 26

Huh -- I thought I was only a week behind, but here it is, four full weeks since I last checked in on Halliburton's fracking fluids disclosure page. In those four weeks Halliburton added three formulations for Colorado:

• Colorado Denver Julesburg (DJ) Basin Hybrid Formulation
• Colorado DJ Basin WaterFrac Formulation
• Colorado Piceance Basin WaterFrac Formulation

The information for all formulations includes the last date and time the information was updated, and an explanation of how the items in the "common uses" category were chosen:

Items identified in the "common uses" column were chosen in part because the constituents found in these products exist in roughly the same concentrations as would be found in fracturing materials at the wellhead. In some cases, however, concentrations present in consumer product are either not publicly available or in higher percentages than would be found at the wellsite.

It's still a meaningless category intended entirely for public-relations purposes. I marvel that Halliburton thinks it can make its fracking formulations (and their consequences) warmer and fuzzier by claiming they share ingredients with cottage cheese or dish soap.

(If you want to know "week 20 from what?" you can either follow the previous-entry links backwards or go directly to the original entry about Halliburton's fracking information.)
