<strong>HORN</strong> <strong>RIVER</strong> <strong>BASIN</strong> AQUIFER CHARACTERIZATION PROJECT<br />

PROJECT OBJECTIVES and GOALS<br />

OBJECTIVE:<br />

• Determine distribution and capacity of deep subsurface, non‐potable aquifers<br />

in the HRB as:<br />

• Potential sources of water for shale gas completions<br />

• Potential disposal sites for water produced during shale gas completions and<br />

production<br />

GOALS:<br />

• To contribute information to help in planning the orderly development of the<br />

HRB shale gas resources<br />

• To help reduce the overall environmental impact of unconventional gas<br />

development in the HRB<br />

NOTE:<br />

• This project complements other water‐related research work being developed<br />

by HRBPG, including water recycling, and surface water quality and budget<br />

monitoring and assessment
