State Oil and Gas Regulatory Exchange
FracFocus is the national hydraulic fracturing chemical registry Web site.
The site was created to provide the public access to reported chemicals used for hydraulic fracturing within their area as well as objective information on hydraulic fracturing, the chemicals used, the purposes they serve and the means by which groundwater is protected.
FracFocus is managed by the Ground Water Protection Council and Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission, two organizations whose missions both revolve around conservation and environmental protection.
