Is there anyone with knowledge/involvement in fracking who can recommend a good book on this topic, to educate myself? The best one I saw online is The Frackers by Zuckerman. Was hoping for a local author.

Why?

Also...google is your friend:







 
Thanks @TheMightyQuinn
I was looking on EB and Amazon and those do not show up.
That's because you're looking for a book on the subject...for some reason. Not sure why?

The minute a book on a subject like this, is finished and printed and published and on the shelves, the info is already outdated.

Stay current by reading current articles and publications online.

It is 2023 after all....

I appreciate your help.

PS: I notice a trend here that folks spend a lot of time bashing someone instead of answering their question.
I mean, if I want A, surely it is not any poster's job to lecture me on why I should really rather get B? Advice is fine, and welcome too, but why are some posters mean about it? They could certainly scroll past. I do not get it. Yes, it's the internet, but we are still human.

To be fair though, the threads you create do seem to suggest you did very little research prior to posting, and there's this expectation that MyBB will do the heavy lifting for you (maybe not this specific thread but definitely others). We'll all do it to some extent. For the most part I reckon folk are helpful, but they're especially helpful if they can see you've got a problem that you've tried to resolve but are a bit stuck.

Take this:


I'd never heard of that wine, I punched it into google, it came back with a bunch of options. Other people made the same observation. I'm sure I could find more examples, I remember that one cos I commented in it.

For this thread - you start by saying
to educate myself?
so people will obviously give online resources.
Then later it's
Not what the client wants.
Unless you're referring to yourself as the client which I doubt as it's obvious you're in some sort of industry dealing with clients and their requests. So I think if we don't have all the available information it's natural folk will suggest B, C and D.
Are some folk unnecessarily mean? No doubt. Could people just scroll past? Definitely. And they probably will, the first time, Maybe the second. They see it's a pattern though, best believe they'll start to say something.

As one of those that have spent more time bashing you than helping you. It's likely those in the IT industry - we get annoyed when people keep asking for stuff that they can get themselves.

Hell, give google a go. You might be surprised at how empowered you feel when you don't have to ask someone to recommend you a shower loufa or whatever your next pointless thread might be.

They think that being an utter d!ckhead is "tough" because their role models are morally bankrupt grifters.

So I was not concentrating, or I mistyped who the resource is intended for. It's not exactly relevant in the context. I wanted a book; who it is for is entirely irrelevant. IT types seemingly have a lot of time to go around bashing people for mistakes like that.
