FracFocus disclosures published between July 7, 2025 and August 7, 2025
Background
- This report of new chemical disclosures summarizes the fracking jobs published recently at FracFocus, the industry-sponsored chemical disclosure instrument. It includes the Who, What and Where of recent fracking activity: the operating companies, the chemicals they use (including quantities), and where these jobs are located.
- Open-FF produced this report. Open-FF is an open source, independent project to make the FracFocus data more usable. The FracTracker Alliance sponsors this work.
- The nature of the fracking chemical data is complicated and can be difficult to make sense of. Open-FF aims to make it those data more digestible. In addition, FracFocus disclosures are plagued by inconsistencies, ambiguous and missing values and many obvious data errors. Open-FF flags and filters many of those problems. Our hope is that these regular reports (and the broader Open-FF project) will give readers both big-picture perspectives of industry activities as well as enough detail to dig deeply into specifics such as individual chemicals, fracking job, or company.
- If you have specific interests in the FracFocus data but are having trouble with it, please contact us.
