site. Hydraulic fracturing Hydraulic fracturing involves pumping fluids (consisting mainly of freshwater and some fraccing chemicals) and a proppant (medium-grained sand or small ceramic pellets) at high pressure down the well through the perforated casing and into reservoir. The pressure exceeds the fracture strength of the reservoir rock and hydraulically causes an artificial fracture to form in the receiving formation, but not page 5 in the overlaying

clause; and • Special condition 9 is a review provision. There is no record of the consent 3895 ever being exercised, as all injection from the Tuhua-B wellsite has been via the McKee Disposal-1 well, under consent 1315-1. Resource Consent: 4182-2 “To discharge waste drilling fluids, fraccing fluids, water, produced water, stormwater and production sludges from hydrocarbon exploration and production operations by deepwell injection at the McKee-A wellsite via McKee-1 well”
1 NZ resource sector position paper: Fraccing on www.pepanz.org page 7 Water used in fracture operations is generally sourced from municipal supplies in Taranaki. Even though this is high quality water, biocides are added to prevent the possibility of bacterial action interfering with the gel management system discussed above. During the process of fracturing, some of the chemicals are sorbed by the geologic media (e.g., clay stabilisers). Process design provides for some
