Inside these rocks, Herbert Dow found the raw materials of creative chemistry (1897). Road Salt $56 per ton Road Brine $.63 per gallon Bromine - $1,128 per ton Fresh Water $? 116

48 What s Next > % of Present Recoverable Reserves Attributable to Fracturing will Grow > The Future Will see an Acceleration of Fracturing. > Research Currently Underway will allow Better Flow Capacity. > A Wider Range of Formations will be Treated. > Expansion of Fracturing in Foreign Countries can be Expected. SPE 801, 1964, Ft. Worth, TX 117

49 Summary > Hydraulic Fracturing is a Honed Science not a Black Art. > Hydraulic Fracturing Science is Challenging for the Public to Understand. > Hydraulic Fracturing has been Demonstrated to be Safe But Confusion and Questions Persist. With intelligent, good-faith communication, environmental and natural gas leaders are closing the perceived gap to thoughtful energy infrastructure development. 118
