Technical Committee on Hydraulic Fracturing (TCHF)

The goals of ARMA’s Technical Committee on Hydraulic Fracturing (TCHF), which leads the Hydraulic Fracturing Community (HFC), are to advance technical development, investigate and model the physical processes, and promote environmentally responsible practices in hydraulic fracturing. TCHF members organize and lead technical sessions at annual symposiums and workshops. In addition, to reach an even broader audience, TCHF members organize and actively participate in the online Hydraulic Fracturing Seminar Series. All TCHF members are active ARMA members. Five have been inducted as ARMA Fellows in recognition of their achievements in rock mechanics. Three have been elected as members of the National Academy of Engineering. With over 500 years of combined experience in hydraulic fracturing, TCHF is ready to advance and promote the state of the art knowledge in the field!
