Louisiana Now Requires Disclosure of Fracking Fluid

Link here.
The Louisiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Office of Conservation adopted a new rule requiring oil and gas operators to obtain a work permit and disclose the types of fluids used in the hydraulic fracturing process of wells in Louisiana.

Operators are required to disclose the composition of the fracturing fluids and volumes used after completing the well to the Office of Conservation or to a public registry, such as FracFocus, which was developed by the national Ground Water Protection Council and the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission.
I actually have FracFocus linked at my "Data Links" tab at the top of the blog. If you go there, it's the very last link at the bottom of the page.
