Industry periodicals often have map supplements that show where
development is taking place. We catalogue these separately in our
library. For instance, the March 2013 issue of JPT includes the
supplement "South American Shale Map".

Some periodical titles to look for include:
JPT. Journal of Petroleum Technology
Oil & Gas Journal
Oil & Gas Inquirer
Oilweek
Petroleum Economist

Regards,

John

     Good afternoon, friends! A recent issue of National Geographic had a
     very interesting article about hydraulic fracturing or fracking. This
     got me wondering what maps we should have available for patrons doing
     research on this topic. Would geologic maps suffice? Or are there
others
     topical maps that we should make sure we have access to in print or
     online?

     I very much appreciate your help with this. Our long-time map librarian
     retired last summer, so we are trying to fill in with collection
     development as best we can.

     Thank you!

     Beth
