Missouri

As of 2017, Missouri does not release the number of wells which use hydraulic fracturing. Oil and gas drilling activity is concentrated in the Forest City Basin, the Bourbon Arch, and the Lincoln Fold. Missouri is also host to multiple intra-state gas pipelines, which come with their own environmental risks.
