Hydraulic Fracturing Prohibition (HB 1325)

BILL SUMMARY:
House Bill 1325 prohibits the act of hydraulic fracturing of a well for the exploration or production of oil or natural gas in the state of Maryland. The bill, sponsored by Delegate Fraser-Hidalgo, also succinctly redefines hydraulic fracturing as the stimulation treatment performed on oil and natural gas wells in low-permeability oil or natural gas reservoirs through which specially engineered fluids are pumped at high pressure and rate into the reservoir interval to be treated, causing fractures to open.
