bring the price down. Unfortunately‚ there is no real incentive for them to do so. Proponents of the free market would say it is the fault of the government whose regulations have prohibited drilling for oil in this country sustaining our need to rely on foreign suppliers. They would suggest opening up drilling and building our own refineries. The increased supply would eventually bring the price down and many believe that the concept alone would influence foreign suppliers to produce more. The high

contact with water. Now why would your water be dangerous? Well because there is this thing that we call Hydraulic fracturing‚ or “fracking” for short. Fracking has its advantages but the risks outweigh the benefits. Fracking is the process of drilling down into the earth before a high-pressure water mixture is directed at the rock to release the gas inside. Water‚ sand and chemicals are injected into the rock at high pressure which allows the gas to flow out to the head of the well. Methanol‚

estimates placed it by late May or early June‚ 2010‚ as among the largest oil spills in history with hundreds of millions of gallons spilled to date. The spill stems from a sea floor oil gusher that resulted from the 20 April 2010 Deepwater Horizon drilling rig explosion. The explosion killed 11 platform workers and injured 17 others.[10] The gusher is estimated by the quasi-official Flow Rate Technical Group to be flowing at 35‚000 to 60‚000 barrels of crude

Northeastern United States. Researchers say that there is a potential for the Marcellus Shale formation to hold around 500 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in its shale deposits deep beneath the earth’s surface. The most controversial element of drilling for natural gas in the Marcellus shale is the use of hydraulic fracturing. In this process large pumps are hooked up to the newly drilled well and thousands of gallons of water and chemicals are pumped into the shale formation several thousand feet

Unfortunately‚ Nigeria hasn’t received many royalties from the drilling of oil‚ therefore guerilla groups have disrupted oil operations. “Since December 2005‚ Nigeria has experienced increased pipeline vandalism‚ kidnappiing‚ and militant takeovers of oil facilities in the Niger Delta‚” I believe that the US Department of Energy(DoE) needs to pay royalties to Nigeria or is some way help the country to make their people comfortable that the DoE is drilling in their backyard.
