S. wells since 1949.</td><td>During the fracking process, a mixture of approximately</td></tr><tr><td>99 % water and sand, combined with a small amount of</td><td>chemical additives, is pumped at high pressure into a</td></tr><tr><td>targeted formation to create small fissures or fractures in</td><td>the surrounding rock or shale. These fractures are</td></tr><tr><td>kept propped open by the sand to allow the natural</td><td>gas or oil to freely flow into a wellbore.</td></tr><tr><td>In our continuing efforts to educate the public and</td><td>alleviate common misconceptions about hydraulic</td></tr><tr><td>fracturing, Chesapeake became one of the first</td><td>energy companies to disclose the additives used</td></tr><tr><td>in the process. We are actively participating in a</td><td>national, publicly accessible web - based registry</td></tr><tr><td>developed by the Ground Water Protection Council</td><td>andthe Interstate OilandGas Compact Commission,</td></tr><tr><td>with support of the U. S. Department of Energy. The</td><td>registry allows for fracking additives to be reported</td></tr><tr><td>on a well - by - well basis and offers public access to</td><td>that material on its website. Chesapeake began</td></tr><tr><td>loading well completion data onto the registry on</td><td>February15.2011, for wells where completion reports</td></tr><tr><td>have been filed with the appropriate state agencies.</td></tr><tr></tr><tr></tr><tr></tr><tr></tr><tr></tr><tr></tr><tr></tr><tr></tr><tr></tr><tr></tr><tr></tr><tr></tr><tr></tr><tr></tr><tr></tr><tr></tr><tr></tr><tr></tr><tr></tr><tr></tr><tr></tr><tr></tr><tr></tr><tr></tr><tr></tr><tr></tr><tr></tr><tr></tr><tr></tr></tbody>
