Hydraulic Fracturing Chemicals and Fluids Technology 1st Edition

If you're looking for a resource that is founded/supported in scientific research (and not opinion or an engineer's perspective), this is NOT the book you want. I bought this book because I was looking for a resource explaining why each chemical was used, and I could see from the "Look Inside" option that literature was cited by the book. Unfortunately, most of the in-text citations are to US Patent applications, which are useless to me as a researcher. This book does not really describe anything more than what you can find on any "hydraulic fracturing" website. Also, I was disappointed that this really only gave one side of the story…the oil & gas industry/engineer's point of view, which is obviously biased.
