Base fluid definition

Base fluid means the continuous phase fluid used in the makeup of a well stimulation treatment fluid. The continuous phase fluid may include, but is not limited to, water, and may be a liquid or a hydrocarbon or nonhydrocarbon gas. A well stimulation treatment may use more than one base fluid.
Base fluid means the continuous phase fluid type,
Base fluid means the continuous phase fluid type, such as water, used in a hydraulic fracturing treatment.

Base fluid means the continuous phase fluid type, including, but not limited to, water, nitrogen gas, or other gas used in a high volume horizontal hydraulic fracturing operation. (Section 1-5 of the Act). “Base fluid” shall also include both hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon fluids in gas and or liquid form used in high volume horizontal hydraulic fracturing operations. Calculation and reporting of volumes for all base fluid shall be for the normal volume that the base fluid would occupy at 20° C and one atmosphere (National Institute of Standards and Technology Standard Temperature and Pressure, or “STP”). If part or all of the base fluid will contain any component that at STP would exist in a gaseous state, then, regardless of whether said component is transported or injected or combined in any other form or at any other temperature or pressure, or whether when mixed with other substances the component forms a foam or gel or other dispersion, the volume of that component shall be calculated and reported as the uncompressed volume at STP for all purposes under these rules.
