    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 jobs

    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

    • 2 Pages

    Hydraulic fracturing 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: used especially to extract natural gas or oil. How the process works: The process includes steps to protect water supplies. To ensure that neither the fluid that will eventually be pumped through the well‚ nor the oil or gas that will eventually be collected‚ enters the water supply‚ steel surface or intermediate casings are inserted

    The most common form is a car jack‚ floor jack or garage jack which lifts vehicles so that maintenance can be performed. Car jacks usually use mechanical advantage to allow a human to lift a vehicle by manual force alone. More powerful jacks use hydraulic power to provide more lift over greater distances. Mechanical jacks are usually rated for a maximum lifting capacity for example‚ 1.5 tons or 3 tons. The scissor jack is made for a modern vehicle and the notch fits into a hard point on a unibody
