The proprietary list of chemicals used for fracking a well are about to be revealed, beyond what environmental investigators have already discovered by poring over MSDS sheets and reading hazmat info on frac trucks.
A new rule from the Texas Railroad Commission requires public disclosure of fracking brine chemicals. Oil and gas driller using the hydraulic fracturing method will also be required to disclose the quantities of fresh-water used in each "drill".
(Colorado also recently enacted a similar rule, though, it's careful to protect the proprietary (aka secret) rights of the driller.)
