1940’s would be hydraulic fracturing‚ otherwise known as fracking. Fracking has been proven to be a lucrative business nearly accounting for more than half of the oil extraction in the US as stated by Source C. While fracking is a useful method of retrieving fossil fuels it can also prove to be detrimental to our everyday lives. The world isn’t blind to the dangers of fracking as many countries in Europe have already taken steps to ban fracking which is stated in Source A. On a global scale this is

This and many more question have been asked about Hydraulic Fracturing with this paper I hope to answer that question and give you some more insight to what is really going on “ fracking”.

Counter arguments against hydraulic fracturing include the lack of government regulations‚ and environmental issues. While most energy companies are conscientious and put forth every effort to make fracking safe‚ without oversight‚ some companies are reeking havoc on communities‚ individuals‚ and nature.

you know about fracking? Fracking is the industry that is natural gas being abstracted from shale rock. It’s hydraulic done by injecting fluid into the ground at a high pressure in order to get into the shale rock to release natural gas. Why does the industry do this? It is more wrongs than rights but the natural gas is a clean burning gas. Gas is environmentally good when it is burnt but when it is being abstracted from the shale rock is when it is bad. The causes to get the gas is a whole outcome

called hydraulic fracturing. Hydraulic fracturing‚ better known as “fracking”‚ is when high-pressured liquids are forced into the ground causes a subterranean layer of earth (The Marcellus Formation) to fracture causing oils and natural gases to be released. Fracking has been a very controversial topic for years in many aspects. In the television series Fault Lines‚ directed by Al Jareeza and written by Sam Black‚ the episode “Fracking in America” perfect exhibits our international debate and the direction

A principle concern in the fracking debate lies over the content of the “fracking fluid.” This fluid is used to increase pressure in shale formations and cause fractures that increase permeability and allow greater access and capture of liquid natural gas or other hydrocarbon products that would be otherwise inaccessible or require numerous more wells be drilled (He‚ Li‚ Liu‚ Barbot‚ Vidic‚ 2014). This fluid consists of water and chemical additives such as‚ “ friction reducers to optimize flow characteristics

communities in the United States. Fracking has a mix of over 596 chemicals and is combined with anywhere between one and seven million gallons of fresh water per well (Gasland). You can fracture a well up to 18 times in its life. Therefore‚ each well uses anywhere from 18 million to 126 million gallons of fresh water. Some argue that the use of horizontal drilling has been around for about 40 years. The truth is that only since 2011 has it been combined with fracking (theoec.org). The
