Hydraulic Fracking Research Paper and Why the process of Fracking is bad for our environment Kimberly Ricker Park University Abstract This paper explores the hydraulic fracturing process‚ exactly what it is‚ what the fracturing process does to the earth and the surrounding environment in addition‚ to the consequences. Hydraulic fracturing is fracturing of rock by pressurization. This process by which oil and natural gas can be forced from the earth. The

Hydraulics Task 3 – P3 Pneumatics and Hydraulic Systems Modern aircraft controls and the braking systems use hydraulic pressure as a means of control. This is because the hydraulic system uses fluid‚ and hydraulic fluid cannot be compressed. Pneumatic systems which use a gas instead of a fluid however can be compressed and this means that the hydraulic system is more effective in it’s function. Because it uses fluid‚ the effect of the hydraulic system is therefore more precise and can work to

Abraham Wilson HYDRAULIC FRACTURING Description and Analysis Hydraulic fracturing is a process within the mining and drilling industries used to increase the output of an underground fluid. Fracturing is used to access or augment productivity in petroleum‚ water and natural gas. The actual process is accomplished deep underground when a pressurized fluid is ejected from underground piping into the surrounding rock formations. The pressure of the fluid creates a crack in the rock which continues

Is hydrologic fracturing a suitable form of energy production? Over the past 85 years‚ the American Petroleum Institute‚ API‚ has been developing and refining engineering standards and practices for the industry. The past decade has brought about a new practice which involves hydraulic fracturing in order to produce oil and natural gas in places where conventional technologies are ineffective. This is a rather in depth process. Firstly‚ a production drill is drilled through the rock layers to intersect
