    Hydraulic Fracturing

    • 653 Words

    ‘Shale gas’ is a form of natural gas, yet different from the conventional natural gas. Shale gas is not found in a crude oil bed unlike natural gas, whereas it is trapped in rocks. Although shale gas has been produced for over a hundred years in the United States, it only recently became a principle source of fuel and ever since then, large scale operation are being carried in order to extract shale gas by the process of hydraulic fracturing. It is to be remembered that due to the low permeability of the shale rock, its commercial use is not very high due to lack of adequate technology. The risk of drilling and not finding sufficient gas is very low as the operational cost is very low. However, at the same time, the gas extracted may have an utilizable output of merely 20 percent, so a large reserve doesn’t necessarily mean high profits.…

    Water is mixed with chemicals and sand then pumped into the shale rock, forming paths for the oil to reach the well. The USGS is conducting studies to assess the amount of water required for hydraulic fracturing as well as the impacts of withdrawing water from the local environment. The studies are supposed to be conducted in more than 15 states to establish baseline water quantity and quality measurements and assessments. The oil contains large amounts of water that comes up with petroleum. This is also called “produced water”. Produced waters contain dissolved minerals from their origins.…

    Studies have shown that petroleum and certain natural gases are found beneath the earth’s surface in certain “reservoir rock formations” or “shale formations” (shales are defined as a certain type of sedimentary rocks) (geology.com, 2010). The gasses trapped beneath the earth can be classified into two categories namely shale gas and conventional gas. The reservoirs of…

    Contrary to popular belief’s Hydraulic Fracturing is not a drilling process .It is the series of steps that are used after the drilling of hole in the ground is completed to create or restore small fractures or opening in the reservoir rock formation .These small fractures or opening in the reservoir are mainly used to extract –petroleum, natural gas ( such as shale gas , tight gas , and coal seam) ,water And natural substances…
