Ella January 2nd ‚ 2014 Hydraulic Fracking in the United States Petroleum‚ natural gas‚ oil…do we really need them? These products power so many things today that humankind “depends” on. Machines in factories‚ automobiles‚ and an abundance of other electronics are fueled by the result of hydraulic fracking. Hydraulic fracking‚ or hydraulic fracturing‚ is used among companies that drill underground for oil and natural gas. The drillers inject millions of gallons of water‚ sand‚ salts and chemicals—some

William Pittman 9/17/14 Writing Comp 1 The Truth We have been aware for years that the U.S. government isn’t very honest with its citizens. The question is though‚ should our government actually be completely honest with us? I believe they should be‚ but I also believe it’s too late for them to become honest. The train of honesty should have been rolling since our nation was first created. Their honesty would not only affect us as citizens‚ it would probably affect their relationships with other

The past decade has brought about a new practice which involves hydraulic fracturing in order to produce oil and natural gas in places where conventional technologies are ineffective. This is a rather in depth process. Firstly‚ a production drill is drilled through the rock layers to intersect the coal seem that contains

Hydraulic Fracking Is it the “New Wave” of our Future? Hydraulic fracturing‚ also known as “fracking” is responsible for the historic boom in production of domestic gas and oil. Over the past few years‚ advances in fracking creates fractures that extend from wells into oil and gas formations by pumping highly-pressurized fluid; water‚ sand‚ ceramic beads‚ and a mixture of chemicals into the oil or gas formation. As this fluid holds the underground fissures open‚ oil and gas flow up the

for natural gas called hydraulic fracturing. Hydraulic fracturing has become the most used technique in the United States’ to produce oil and natural gas. Hydraulic fracturing is also knows as fracking is a technique to produce natural gas and oil. Wells are built which involves the injection of water‚ sand and chemicals at high pressure into bedrock to produce natural gas and oil. The process creates small cracks or fractures in rock formations. The initiative of hydraulic fracturing will create
