The Mineral Leasing Act is amended by inserting after section 37 ( 30 U.S.C. 193 ) the following: Any lease issued, renewed, or readjusted under this Act shall prohibit the lessee from conducting any activity under the lease for the purpose of hydraulic fracturing. In this section, the term hydrauling fracturing means an operation conducted in an individual wellbore designed to increase the flow of hydrocarbons from a rock formation to the wellbore through modifying the permeability of reservoir rock by fracturing it, except that such term does not include enhanced secondary recovery, including water flooding, tertiary recovery, and other types of well stimulation operations. .
