ABSTRACT
The objective of this approach is to use computer models to explore hypothetical scenarios across the hydraulic fracturing water cycle. The models include models of generic engineering andgeological scenarios and, where sufficient data are available, models of site-specific or region-specific characteristics. This chapter includes progress reports for the following projects:
8.1.1 SUBSURFACE MIGRATION MODELING
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), in consultation with the EPA, will simulate the hypothetical subsurface migration of fluids (including gases) resulting from six possible mechanisms using computer models. .
