Fracturing within the well (borehole) is controlled by methods that create or seal holes in the side of the well and this releases natural gases and oils from pores within the rock. 2.

There actually is a technology that does such things. It’s called hydraulic fracturing‚ but it isn’t necessarily new. Hydraulic fracturing has been around since the 1940’s but has really started to boom in the mid-2000’s. it is the process of releasing natural gas from compact rocks‚ mostly from shale. The

poses many benefits. The oil and gas industry is one of the biggest industries in the United States. Fracking is the process of injecting water‚ sand and small amounts of chemicals into the ground‚ causing shale to crack‚ releasing natural gas. We don’t have a choice; we depend on fossil fuels every day to survive. Fracking provides many economic benefits that outweigh the disadvantages associated with the matter.
