Hydraulic fracturing was not exactly a sizzling topic for Rudy Giuliani when he served as New York City mayor. As fracking continues to light up the national energy sector, the former mayor’s Texas-based Bracewell & Giuliani drills into the App Store with a cleanly-designed mobile portal packed with fracking updates and resources for counsel and industry. Fire up ShalePlay for a menu of fracking law, regulatory, business and other news, along with shale studies and reports.

The app curates news from a range of sources including the government, media outlets and industry. Drill down for an interactive map of shale plays and basins nationally. Go deep for a glossary of dozens of everyday fracking terms such as porosity, slurry, fissure and wellbore. Dig in with a timeline of hydraulic fracturing history that begins way back in 1825. The app includes links to the firm’s energy law blog posts, firm updates and of course tweets, via @bgenergy. While environmental and other issues surrounding fracking remain disputatious, ShalePlay is pro-fracking, alright. In fact it’s a gas. Free, iOS. Android version coming within a few months.
