Government help is overstated but was useful. Fracking research pretty much came about from George P. Mitchell of Mitchell Energy, the Houston oilman who developed fracking technology. The company relied on research from the Sandia National Laboratory to use micro-seismic technology to map the shale fractures in wells in the Barnett Shale.

The government’s role in fracking’s development was important, but not so important that it overshadows the effort and investment of private industry. Federal programs did help to gas industry engineers in figuring out how to map, drill, and recover shale gas.
