Hydraulic fracturing is when a hole or "well" is drilled deep into the ground‚ in an effort to extract valuable natural gas reserves which exist beneath the surface. The process of constructing a hydraulic fracturing well includes drilling into the Earth--first vertically and then horizontally‚ then lining the well with a two-terminal tube with one terminal that is filled with water while the other pipes the recovered natural gases up above ground (Withgott & Laposata‚ 2014). In order to exhume the

Drilling wells is responsible for direct pollution due to oil spills; consequently‚ drilling also leads to the injection of watery liquids into the wells which are later distributed as drilling mud that often cause their own toxic pollution. Furthermore‚ the transporting of such oil by tanker ships have the potential to cause great

In the early 1990s the United States was seeking energy independence with finding and obtaining our own natural gases. “For years now the U.S. has tried to lower its dependence on foreign oil from it energy needs‚ with stability in the middle east in question‚ drilling at home has never been more attracted” (Black). George P. Mitchell created a new system that would help us get closer to our nations goal‚ called hydraulic fracturing. Hydraulic fracturing‚ better known as “fracking”‚ is when high-pressured

Fracking requires up to 5 million gallons of water per well and perhaps even more in which case‚ the tons of water used would create a huge demand of local water supplies (Dong). Unlike agriculture or domestic water uses‚ gas drilling does not return the used water back into in the ground (Myers). The water

The use of hydraulic fracking has been around since the 1940’s to extract small batches of natural gas. It was not until 2003 that the fracking process started extracting large quantities of natural gas and oil. Today‚ there is major controversy over the idea that hydraulic fracturing may or may not be harmful to the earth. One side says it is safe to use hydraulic fracking‚ others state that it is dangerous to society. Many people believe fracking is harmful to the environment because it pollutes
