Hydraulic Fracturing Seminar Series
2025 WEBINARS
Nowadays technology, procedures, protocols, and prospects evolve rapidly. The ARMA Hydraulic Fracturing Technical Community hosts a regular (usually bi-weekly) seminar series covering topics related to hydraulic fracturing and of general interest to the rock mechanics / geomechanics community.
Upcoming events
Upcoming webinars from this series are announced by email to the ARMA Hydraulic Fracturing Community mailing list, as the information becomes available. Not a member of the community? You can register here.
