Welcome to ARMA HFC

The Hydraulic Fracturing Community (HFC) of the American Rock Mechanics Association (ARMA) is free and open to anyone who is interested in hydraulic fracturing and willing to share theoretical development, modeling advancement, lab findings, and/or field experience related to hydraulic fracturing. The goals of HFC are to bring people together, to provide a platform to share the latest trends and news in hydraulic fracturing, and to promote dynamic communication among engineers, researchers, and scientists from different communities. The Hydraulic Fracturing Community is led by the Technical Committee on Hydraulic Fracturing (TCHF) of ARMA.

We are a community of over 900 members representing over 250 different organizations, which include a good balance between academic institutions, E&P or operator companies, service companies, and national laboratories. We are an international community with members from almost 40 countries, with nearly half of our members being outside the USA.
