From: Barnett Shale Gas
Natural gas is a gaseous fossil fuel containing mostly methane. It is the cleanest burning fossil fuel. Natural gas deposits are also widespread: some 22 states are producing at present. Natural gas pipes wend their way through the community. New pipeline rights of way and wells are everywhere.
Natural gas produced on location is used to fire the distilling units that in turn boil the returned fracture fluid and produce fresh distilled water. The distilled water can then be used to fracture treat another Barnett Shale well.
