Hydraulic Fracturing Part A: A Background on Hydraulic Fracturing Hydraulic Fracturing‚ otherwise know as fracking‚ is a relatively new development in natural gas extraction industry. Even though natural gas extraction has been around for decades‚ the process of mining for natural gas in dense shale was not economically feasible until now. As defined by what-is-fracking.com‚ “Hydraulic fracturing is the process of drilling for natural gas and oil underneath the ground‚” (1). In order

Introduction: Hydraulic fracturing is the process in which a mixture of chemicals and water are used in combination to stimulate wells and expose minerals that previously would have been much too expensive to access using tradition methods. With the process comes some detrimental environmental consequences‚ like water contamination‚ due to the chemicals used in the liquid mixture. According to an Earthworks article‚ only 0.5 to 2.0% of the “frack fluid” volume content is made up of chemicals‚ which

Hydraulic fracturing is one of the most common methods of extracting natural gas from the earth. Many companies‚ such as Exxon Mobil‚ claim that it is safe and that there are no negative impacts because of hydraulic fracturing. However‚ many scientists and environmentalists think otherwise. There is scientific proof that hydraulic fracturing contaminates drinking water‚ produces wastewater that contains toxins and radiation‚ and‚ in rare cases‚ causes earthquakes. It is clear that Hydraulic fracturing
