Affected: IC 14-25-7; IC 14-37

Sec. 8.

(a) This section establishes requirements for the reporting of hydraulic fracturing information to the division.
(b) Within thirty (30) days following the conclusion of a hydraulic fracturing on a well, including the refracturing of a well, an owner or operator must provide details of the hydraulic fracturing to the division. The information must be provided on a form prescribed by the division that includes the following information:
(1) The volume and source of base fluids used, including location and registration information for any source of water that is a significant water withdrawal facility under IC 14-25-7.
(2) The type and amount of proppant used.
(3) A description of each additive product used, including each of the following:
(A) The trade name of the additive product used as identified by the product manufacturer on the SDS.
(B) A description of the type of each additive product used.
(C) A description of the purpose for each additive used.
(D) Unless a copy was previously submitted to the division, a copy of the SDS for each additive product used.
(4) The maximum volume of each additive product used expressed as:
(A) percent (%) by mass of the total fracturing fluid; or
(B) percent (%) by volume of the total fracturing fluid.
(5) The maximum surface treating pressure and injection treating pressure.
(6) Identification of formations stimulated by hydraulic fracturing.
(7) Whether the hydraulic fracturing was performed with a frac string set inside production casing, or through production casing without a separate frac string.
(c) Copies of the following additional information must be submitted along with the hydraulic fracturing report:
(1) Well service company job tickets or similar reports that provide a summary of the products used and the services performed with respect to the hydraulic fracturing. The reports are not required to include cost information for the products or services used.
(2) Pressure recording charts or graphs generated during hydraulic fracturing.
(3) All logs or surveys performed to calculate or map the fracture length and height.
(d) Upon written request by the well operator, the following information may be requested to be held confidential by the division for a period of up to one (1) year from the date of the stimulation operation:
(1) The identification of formations stimulated by hydraulic fracturing.
(2) Supplemental information required under subsection (c).

All other information provided on the form will be placed in the public record for the well and available for inspection by the public.
