The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted its draft study plan on hydraulic fracturing for review to the agency’s Science Advisory Board (SAB), a group of independent scientists. The process creates fractures in formations such as shale rock, allowing natural gas or oil to escape into the well and be recovered.
