things. It’s called hydraulic fracturing‚ but it isn’t necessarily new. Hydraulic fracturing has been around since the 1940’s but has really started to boom in the mid-2000’s. it is the process of releasing natural gas from compact rocks‚ mostly from shale. The process involves injecting millions of gallons of a mixture of water and many chemicals into an underground rock formation in order to open factures‚ which release trapped gas or crude oil through a pipe to the surface. Now imagine walking out

On every fracking site‚ 8 million gallons of water and 40‚000 gallons of chemicals are used each day. In addition‚ these chemicals are injected 10‚000 feet into the ground. This interesting statistic calls attention to the dangers of contamination and pollution that fracking brings to local communities and residents. A PhD recipient from Duke University‚ Dr.Richard Anderson‚ claims that the federal government needs to have certain limitations on national fracking protocol. Otherwise‚ he argues greater

TITLE: Water Based Drilling Fluid Analysis EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Analysis of drilling fluids is essential to their performance. In this laboratory exercise the aim is to test three drilling fluid samples for; density and rheological properties‚ Fluid loss‚ chemical analysis i.e. testing pH‚ alkalinity‚ testing for chloride ions‚ calcium carbonate‚ calcium‚ bentonite; also determining the amount of solids present in the samples as well as volumes of oil‚ water and solids contained in the sample‚ and

No person can ignore the importance of family and work in his/her life. Work and family are the most important aspects of people’s lives and‚ contrary to the initial belief that they are distinct parts of life (Staines‚ 1980). They are closely related (Ford‚ Heinen‚ & Langkamer‚ 2007). Many of the behavioural researchers have shown interest in research on work and family issues from past few decades. Much of the impetus for this research has come from changing demographics and the changing structure

Dinosaurs and Man may have Co-existed It has been a constant debate between creationists and evolutionists on how old the world is. Evolutionists believe that earth was created over 4.5 billion years ago while‚ creationists believe in a young earth created only about 6‚000 years old. With that debate is the argument on when the dinosaurs walked the earth. Evolutionism teaches that humans and dinosaurs lived millions of years apart from each other. What many people are not aware of is that there

Selenium‚ found in group 16 of the periodic table‚ follows a cycle in the environment as it transfers between the biosphere‚ atmosphere and hydrosphere. It is also an essential element for humans and animals. It can cause both deficiencies and toxic effects if not taken in the correct quantities. This essay outlines the general features and behaviour of Se in the primary environment‚ its general abundance and its ability to substitute into minerals. Its Eh and pH also are important factors in determining
