Water Demand in the Bakken

WATER DEMAND IN THE BAKKEN HYDRAULIC FRACTURING 8M GALLONSOFH20 Average amount of water a fracked well needs to operate over its lifetime. 46% 99.5% BY 2035 WATER&SAND The amount of total US energy estimated to come from the fracking process. The oil & gas industry, along with partners like Citadel Energy, are actively looking for ways to improve water use in the hydraulic fracturing process. Reducing the environmental footprint is priority number one. Current fracking fluid is comprised of 99.5% water & sand. The remaining 5% is composed of additives, many are household items.
