Political and Economic Thoughts on the Fracking Nation Introduction Hydraulic fracturing‚ or fracking‚ is a horizontal drilling method that extracts natural gas from Marcellus shale formations thousands of feet below the surface. A high pressure water mixtures is pushed into a well‚ and pressure applied so the shale cracks and releases gas. The gases are then captured and refined. Since this high technology system has been developed‚ there has not been enough structured support‚ such as reports

drilling for natural gas in the Marcellus Shale. Tioga County was one of the first counties in Pennsylvania to experience Marcellus Shale drilling activity. It ranks second by number of Marcellus wells in PA‚ with a total of 388 drilling wells between 2008 and 2010 (including 266 in 2010) (DEP). Once disgusted by the inherent wrongs of drilling on bountiful land‚ I have become open to the potential benefits that natural gas provides through shale‚ domestically and internationally. Natural gas is a critical

Just-in-time may no longer be good enough. Other trends‚ like the unforeseen boom in shale gas exploration in the United States‚ offer lucrative growth opportunities to some sectors but are having serious repercussions for others. In particular‚ the abundance of low-cost shale gas feeds available to North American olefins crackers is changing the mix of products coming out of crackers. By choosing low-cost natural gas feeds instead of higher-cost feeds from crude oil‚ cracker operators effectively reduce

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 allow the movement

Recycling can create many jobs and in time improve the economy. Recycling can also save natural resources‚ save energy‚ reduce pollution and conserve landfill space. In order to save the earth‚ the world needs to recycle more. It should be mandatory that every community in the world has an area for recycles. Garbage companies could even hire people to go through garbage and pick out the recyclable items. Saving natural resources is one of the many things recycling can accomplish. “Making products with

Journey to Sakhalin Sakhalin Island’s resources include oil‚ gas and coal‚ as well as forestry and fishing. Before the collapse of the USSR‚ oil and gas were being extracted from the ground. Several geological studies show that the vast reserves of Sakhalin’s oil and gas were mainly under the Sea of Okhotsk. After the disintegration of the USSR‚ Russia was eager to rebuild its economy and oil and gas were resources that it could leverage for foreign assistance. Before Sakhalin II‚ Russia would
