Down by Oil Industries Middle School there is a transfer student named Fracking who everyone loves for solving the low cookie crisis. What they did not know is that those cookies were way past their expiration date. The kids did not know this because the cookies simply tasted so great at the moment‚ for the rest of the week they were all sick from the spoiled cookies. This may seem as an “out there” analogy‚ but it was to simply put out there to depict how the populace is being blinded by the immediate

process is quite simple; the idea is that millions of gallons of water‚ sand‚ and other such chemicals are pumped into the ground to break up shales of rocks that then release natural gasses (Osborn). The gasses are then able to move freely to the wells. Most of the fluid sent to the ground are sand and water; the process of fracking has become more and more common in the United States and is projected to increase to be the only efficient

"Gasland" and "Fracknation" are two documentary films based off hydraulic fracturing. Hydraulic fracturing as indicated by dictionary.com is the forcing open of fissures in subterranean rocks by introducing liquid at high pressure‚ especially to extract oil or gas. Hydraulic fracturing started as a trial in 1947. It is a technique where a high weight of liquid (more often than not chemicals suspended in water) is infused into a wellbore to make splits in the profound rock arrangements through which regular

fracturing‚ shale oil or shale gas. This technology can be defined as the process of extraction of oil and gas by providing a of sand‚ water‚ and chemicals injected at high pressures vertically and horizontally to the bottom layer of rock in which oil and gas are trapped. Hillard Huntington et al.2013 Fracking was developed to get the remnants of oil contained in production wells‚ especially in old oil wells. This process is effective to increase the number of production wells. Fracking is highly
