From 2010 to July 2014 Texas had 12,808.25 gallons of diesel of chemicals injected from 27 wells.
The Environmental Integrity Project 2014 study [http://environmentalintegrity.org/wp-content/uploads/2014-10_Frackings_Toxic_Loophole.pdf "Fracking Beyond The Law, Despite Industry Denials Investigation Reveals Continued Use of Diesel Fuels in Hydraulic Fracturing,"] found that [[hydraulic fracturing]] with diesel fuel can pose a risk to drinking water and human health because diesel contains [[benzene]], toluene, [[xylene]], and other chemicals that have been linked to cancer and other health problems. The Environmental Integrity Project identified numerous fracking fluids with high amounts of diesel, including additives, friction reducers, emulsifiers, solvents sold by Halliburton.<ref>[http://environmentalintegrity.org/news-reports/reports "Fracking Beyond The Law, Despite Industry Denials Investigation Reveals Continued Use of Diesel Fuels in Hydraulic Fracturing,"] The Environmental Integrity Project, August 13, 2014.</ref>
