Energy companies to post fracking chemicals online

Oil and gas companies operating in Colorado are among many that say they will voluntarily disclose the chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing.

The technique — also known as "fracking" — that blasts water, sand and chemicals into rock layers deep underground to unlock oil and gas.

The companies are uploading data, including well locations, this week to a website created by the Groundwater Protection Council, a national association of groundwater protection agencies, and the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission, an interstate commission created in 1935. Both are located in Oklahoma City.
