This report summarizes the fracking jobs published this week at FracFocus, the industry-sponsored chemical disclosure instrument. It includes the Who, What and Where of recent fracking activity: the operating companies, the chemicals they use (including quantities), and where these jobs are located.
This report is produced by Open-FF, an open source, independent public service project to make the FracFocus data more usable. The nature of the fracking chemical data is complicated and can be difficult to make sense of; Open-FF aims to make it those data more digestible. In addition, FracFocus disclosures are plagued by inconsistencies, ambiguous and missing values and many obvious data errors; Open-FF flags and filters many of those problems. Our hope is that these weekly reports (and the broader Open-FF project) will give readers both big-picture perspectives of industry activities as well as enough detail to dig deeply into specifics such as individual chemicals, fracking job, or company.
