Natural Gas Power
for Drilling & Hydraulic Fracturing
May 14, 2013
EFD Workshop in
San Antonio, Texas
The Environmentally Friendly Drilling (EFD) program, managed by the Houston Advanced Research Center (HARC), is currently studying technologies for powering exploration and development with clean-burning natural gas. Fueling with natural gas offers opportunities for reduction of emissions, footprint and cost.

 EFD Team and family members display their 'bounty!'
EFD Team and several Sponsors' employees/members participated
in the 2013 Spring Cleanup.
Several EFD members and their families and friends came out to help clean up the beach in Matagorda, Texas. The weather was beautiful and thanks to these wonderful volunteers, the beaches are more beautiful now, too!
 Employees and family members of Katch Kan making a difference!
Thanks to all that came out!

Geographical, Geological, and Hydrogeological Attributes of Formations in the Footprint of the Eagle Ford Shale
Prepared for the Houston Advanced Research Center by Jean-Philippe Nicot, Ruth A. Costley, and Yun Huang Bureau of Economic Geology
John A. and Katherine G. Jackson School of Geosciences
The University of Texas at Austin This document presents an overview of mostly geological characteristics of formations in the footprint of the South Texas Eagle Ford (EF) Shale play with a focus on water. The ~25-county EF play has seen dramatic development in the past few years and it keeps expanding to additional counties towards the north of the play.
Please contact the EFD Team if you would like the full report and data set.

The EFD program, funded by federal, state and foreign government agencies, industry and environmental organizations, provides unbiased science to policy makers and identifies, develops and tests new technologies, processes and systems to reduce the environmental footprint associated with oil and gas activities, from well site selection through natural gas compression. The program, approximately $4 million per year, is engaged in research and technology transfer activities from the Western Slope of the Rockies to the Ukraine, and from the North Slope of Alaska to Columbia (South America). Research includes land, air and water issues, as well as public perception investigations. The program was honored with the Chairman's Stewards Award for Environmental Partnership at the 2009 Annual Meeting of the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission.
