Deepwater Horizon‚ exploded suddenly after high pressure methane gas from the oil well rose to the drilling rig‚ causing it to ignite and then sink to the bottom of the ocean floor. The explosion caused a sea-floor level oil blowout‚ and crude oil was leaked into the surrounding water for three months before a solution was found. After eighty-seven long days‚ the wellhead was finally capped‚ and the oil from the well was contained. In the three month span it took BP to figure out a solution to this

Hydraulic fracturing also known as fracking is the process of drilling and injecting fluid into the ground at a high pressure in order to fracture shale rocks to release built up natural gas from inside the ground. Hydraulic fracturings (fracking) exemption from the rules and regulations of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) needs to be repealed‚ and the new regulations of the Fracking Responsibility and Awareness of Chemicals Act need to be enforced.

major nations are beginning to become involved in this revolution. The gas is rich in petroleum and natural gas. Unlike conventional natural gas‚ which is in permeable rocks like sandstone‚ gas cannot flow through the shale. Therefore‚ just drilling a well isn’t enough to extract this gas. As a result of this‚ fracking or hydraulic fracturing is used. Shale gas production Fracking is a process that uses millions of gallons of water‚ sand and chemical that is pumped into the ground to break and fracture

To obtain the natural gas‚ the pressure in the pipe causes the rock around the pipe to crack‚ allowing natural gas to escape. Then‚ the gas flows up the well and is collected. However‚ Hydraulic fracturing should be put to a stop‚ because of health concerns‚ and the effect fracking may have on global warming’s.
