Hydraulic Fracturing Over the past few decades‚ the United States has become heavily reliant on using nonrenewable resources. The excessive uses of these resources‚ such as coal‚ are extremely harmful to the environment and can be considered responsible for global climate change and the destruction of a once healthy atmosphere. Some companies have claimed to find a “clean” source of energy called natural gas‚ found deep within the Earth’s crust. Commercials created by these companies state that

Fracking is a very popular conversational topic or subject of commercials‚ media etc.. But many people actually do not know what it is‚ does and risks. Fracking‚ or Hydraulic Fracturing is the process of pumping a high-pressured fluid (consisting out of water‚ sand‚ and other chemicals) into shale rocks to widen the fractures (Fracking). This releases the pockets of gas or petroleum inside the rock‚ and making them accessible to the human (Hyder‚ Joseph). It was developed in the 1940’s‚ but‚ since

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

Collection and analysis of fracturing pressures are facilitated by the monitoring vehicles provided by service companies. These vehicles are equipped with computer hardware and software that can digitize‚ display‚ analyze and record relevant data.
