The salty water‚ sand‚ and chemical mixture forces natural gas up through the well bore to the surface for collection through pipelines.

So mud is needed in order to cool down the temperature and also to reduce the frictions. * The mud also will collect all the debris or the drilled cuttings from the wellbore and transport it to the surface. * The other function of drilling mud is to maintain the stability of the well in terms

Environmental Issues Page 9: Closure Hydraulic Fracturing and Why It’s a Concern Today. Hydraulic fracturing‚ commonly referred to as fracking‚ has been a hot topic of debate in the United States of America since its inception in 1947 and first well drill in 1949. The United States was the first country to perform hydraulic fracturing to tap into a previously unavailable resource‚ natural gases deep underground in very small micro veins that spider web across a large area.

During fracking‚ pressurized liquids are injected into drilled wells‚ which cause the surrounding rock to crack open allowing gas and oil flow through the fissures. Millions of gallons of water are used and a similarly large volume of waste water is generated. Most of the water is never restored and the stored waste

The largest oil spill in the history of United States is the Deepwater Horizon oil spill‚ also known as the BP oil spill. The oil spill initially lasted eighty-seven days‚ and the after-effects are still happening today‚ almost seven years later‚ causing heart disease. The oil spills lasting effects have polluted many water habitats and is beginning to pollute our air. Because of its pollution in our air‚ people are beginning to have heart problems‚ such as heart disease and respiratory issues.
