Baker Hughes to Share Full Hydraulic Fracturing Chemical Information
Company Brings Greater Transparency to Hydraulic Fracturing
Baker Hughes Inc. is implementing a new policy of releasing 100 percent of the chemistry in its hydraulic fracturing fluids. No trade secret designations will be used.
"Introducing greater transparency about the chemicals used in the hydraulic fracturing process and protecting the ability to innovate are not conflicting goals," says Derek Mathieson, Baker Hughes chief strategy officer.
