I googled acetone as a fracking agent and came up with some articles that say its used for such. Of course I bow to your knowledge but are the articles wrong?

It may be used in fracks (news to me), but I know it isn’t used in drilling. Can you provide links to your information? I’m always willing to learn more. I’d rather get it right.

Can you link an article that actually shows it used in hydraulic fracturing? I searched "acetone as a fracking agent". None of the articles I read actually substantiated that claim, only used the words somewhere in the article but not in that phrase.

On the public listing of hydraulic fluids, I have not seen it listed.
