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

Machines in factories‚ automobiles‚ and an abundance of other electronics are fueled by the result of hydraulic fracking. Hydraulic fracking‚ or hydraulic fracturing‚ is used among companies that drill underground for oil and natural gas. The drillers inject millions of gallons of water‚ sand‚ salts and chemicals—some

Hydraulic Fracking Is it the “New Wave” of our Future? Hydraulic fracturing‚ also known as “fracking” is responsible for the historic boom in production of domestic gas and oil. Over the past few years‚ advances in fracking creates fractures that extend from wells into oil and gas formations by pumping highly-pressurized fluid; water‚ sand‚ ceramic beads‚ and a mixture of chemicals into the oil or gas formation. As this fluid holds the underground fissures open‚ oil and gas flow up the

The Split Personality of Hydraulic Fracturing There is wide agreement among most experts and the public that the current energy sources we use in the United States are in need of a replacement. Reliance on the fossil fuels of coal and oil are problematic for at least two reasons: their negative impact on the environment (both in extraction and their use) and the reliance on supplies of these from other countries‚ which has created problems on the geopolitical front. Nuclear fission remains a controversial

Hydraulic fracturing is a water-intensive industrial process that drillers use to collect the natural gas held in shale formations. Shale gas has become an increasingly important energy resource in the U.S. Fracking fluid contains water‚ salt‚ sand‚ and hazardous industrial chemicals. This fluid is injected at high pressure underground into geologic formations. The salty water‚ sand‚ and chemical mixture forces natural gas up through the well bore to the surface for collection through pipelines.
