Imagine working in the elements of the weather, using equipment so heavy it requires huge diesel engines, with explosive gases and toxic chemicals. The work schedules involve long hours and multiple days. And, it would appear that most of these guys are from out of state. How great the stresses must be?

I see the diesel trucks with their loads of frack sand and chemical tanks. It's like an invasion. There is no one monitoring our area just to see what is in the air. I can smell fumes. And, I can see the clouds of sand and other vapors around the well pads. No one comes round and tells me what is going on. Our neighborhood is under occupation. When did the oil and gas industry take control of our lives? They have pulled it off. I better get a gas mask as this seems to get worse every week!

EIA has adopted this convention, and develops estimates of tight oil production and resources in the United States that include, but are not limited to, production from shale formations. The ARI assessment of shale formations presented in this report, however, looks exclusively at shale resources and does not consider other types of tight formations.
