What is fracking? Fracking‚ formally known as Hydraulic Fracturing‚ is the process of drilling straight down into the earth‚ then drilling horizontally to create cracks in the ground. A combination of water‚ sand‚ and added chemicals are pumped at a high pressure to expand and hold the cracks open to extract the gas. It is a technique that has been used in the United States for over 60 years‚ and many more to come (Bierstedt 641). The thing many people are concerned about is fracking’s effect on

though Hydraulic Fracturing is changing our dependence on fossil fuels‚ it could very well be changing our most precious resource‚ our water supplies. The average fracturing site uses an estimated 70 to 140 billion gallons of water to fracture 35‚000 wells in the United States annually. This is approximately the yearly water consumption of 40 to 80 cities each with a population of 50‚000. This water is infused with chemicals that seep back into our groundwater and contaminate our water supplies. Hydraulic

State the primary legal issue raised by hydraulic fracturing; state the primary environmental issues raised by hydraulic fracturing; and state what part of hydraulic fracturing plays or will play in meeting U. S. energy needs. Finding more energy sources including oil and natural gas will help to meet the energy demand and help provide our country with reliable fuel supplies. The prediction is that oil and natural gas will continue to provide more than half of the energy needs for American

“Hydraulic Fracturing or Fracking is a process in which fractures in rocks below the earth’s surface are opened and widened by injecting chemicals and liquids at high pressure”(Dictionary). This type of mining is used to extract natural gas and oil by drilling a mile or more below the surface. Fracking has been “commercially used for 65 years”(Introduction)‚ supplying Americans energy. Hydraulic Fracturing has allowed for the increase in supplies of oil and natural gas. It is currently the best and

In 1947‚ the Stanolind Oil Company in Kansas first introduced hydraulic fracturing‚ more commonly known today as “hydrofracking” or simply “fracking.” It is a process of obtaining natural gas from a mixture of large amounts of water and small amounts of sand and chemicals that are pumped into a drilled gas well under very high pressure. According to the Institute of Energy and Environmental Research‚ fracturing methods and its materials may vary from well to well‚ but each well is usually fractured
