This article from National Review has a good report of how the process is accomplished and how the environmental concerns are addressed by the state agencies and drilling/production company. There is a lot of information here, and I encourage folks to read the whole article.
Energy and environmental issues and myths about fracking have been the topic of many questions for various candidates in the last year or so. My experience was in minerals exploration/development not oil/gas and environmental regulations have changed considerably over the last 20 years so I have been looking for an article that is not too technical that might help others.
