Hydro-Fracking for Natural Gas Hydraulic fracking or hydro-fracking is the fracturing of rock to extract natural gases from the ground. To fracture the rock and extract the natural gases‚ a large amount of water‚ combined with chemicals‚ is pumped into the ground at high pressures to open up existing fractures. After this process‚ the gas can flow freely into the drilled gas well. However‚ Hydro-fracking should not be used because it destroys the land‚ air‚ water‚ and the health of the people.

Introduction The emerging Coal Seam Gas (CSG) industry in Australia is seen to provide unparalleled opportunities for Australia’s economic and regional development‚ through the delivery of numerous employment opportunities. Currently NSW produces 5% of its own gas; the remaining 95% is imported [11]. The main critical advantage of

Everywhere‚ people were told that there is nothing to worry about and that hydraulic fracturing was safe. Those people were being lied to. People in their homes were reporting health issues. Everything leads up to the water‚ and not the water that was once safe‚ but the water they came to know after the drilling of the wells. Environmental

Analysis of the Economic & Environmental Effects of Fracking Introduction Fracking‚ or hydraulic fracturing‚ is the process of extracting natural gas from shale rock. Fracking allows the world to retain natural gas from depths that were deemed unreachable by conventional technology. Recent advancements in Fracking technology have propelled America to the forefront of natural gas extraction. By this method‚ the shale rock is punctured with a high pressure fluid‚ causing it to rupture and

all natural gas extraction today involves a technique called hydraulic fracturing‚ or fracking‚ in which dangerous chemicals are mixed with large quantities of water and sand and injected into wells at extremely high pressure. Fracking is a suspect in polluted drinking water in Arkansas‚ Colorado‚ Pennsylvania‚ Texas‚ Virginia‚ West Virginia and Wyoming‚ where residents have reported changes in water quality or quantity following fracturing operations. NRDC opposes expanded fracking until effective

global fight for the growing demand of energy and promotion of saving energy‚ fracking has become very controversial. The dangers to our society and health are at the forefront in conducting safer practices. To obtain the natural gas‚ fracking or hydraulic fracking must be conducted. Hoffman (2015) explained‚ “Hydrofracking is a controversial oil and gas extraction technique developed in the late 1940s to gain access to fossil energy deposits previously inaccessible to drilling operations”.

Hydraulic Fracturing “Fracking‚” or hydraulic fracturing‚ is a controversial technology that was originally developed over 60 years ago. It allows us to obtain oil and hydrocarbons from otherwise inaccessible underground locations by drilling thousands of feet into the Earth and intentionally fracturing the shale. The oils and hydrocarbons are collected and then refined into pipeline quality natural gas. Natural gas is cleaner‚ more reliable‚ and more abundant than other fossil fuels. In recent
