Course Project Week 2 ReyDel Veenstra Hydraulic Fracturing What is Hydraulic Fracturing: Hydraulic fracturing or “fracking” is a well stimulation process used to maximize the extraction of underground resources including oil and natural gas. Hydraulic fracturing involves the pressurized injection of a mixture of water‚ chemicals‚ and sand in underground formations to allow natural gas and oil to flow more freely from rock pores to the surface.

State the primary legal issue raised by hydraulic fracturing; state the primary environmental issues raised by hydraulic fracturing; and state what part of hydraulic fracturing plays or will play in meeting U. S. energy needs. Finding more energy sources including oil and natural gas will help to meet the energy demand and help provide our country with reliable fuel supplies. The prediction is that oil and natural gas will continue to provide more than half of the energy needs for American

“Hydraulic Fracturing or Fracking is a process in which fractures in rocks below the earth’s surface are opened and widened by injecting chemicals and liquids at high pressure”(Dictionary). This type of mining is used to extract natural gas and oil by drilling a mile or more below the surface. Fracking has been “commercially used for 65 years”(Introduction)‚ supplying Americans energy. Hydraulic Fracturing has allowed for the increase in supplies of oil and natural gas. It is currently the best and
