The inaugural HF2013 conference aims to advance the effectiveness of hydraulic fracturing for the energy producing and mining industries and beyond.

It is co-organised and sponsored by CSIRO, the University of Utah's Energy and Geoscience Institute, the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM) and the Australian Geomechanics Society (AGS).

HF2013 is aimed at industry practitioners, academics and regulatory specialists from the energy sector. The conference program is designed to explore and recognise the synergies and versatility of hydraulic fracturing in multiple industries, and promote its sustainable use as a key technology into the future.

The program will include podium or poster presentations that accompany full-length papers, invited presentation, and an exciting line up of keynote speakers that includes Prof Charles Fairhurst, Dr Reinhard Jung, Prof Jim Rice, Dr Mike Vincent, Mr Carl Montgomery, and Dr Norm Warpinski.

In addition to presenting targeted domain-specific networking opportunities, HF2013 will provide exposure to the breadth of hydraulic fracturing unmatched by other conferences worldwide.

Registrations will open soon. Abstract submission for the HF2013 conference is now open.
