“Hydraulic Fracturing‚” and this is the process by which fossil fuels‚ usually natural gas or petroleum‚ are extracted from the earth. During this process‚ drilling from a well into hard shale rock takes place‚ and then that rock is cracked. This cracking releases the fossil fuels inside the shale rocks. Water‚ sand and chemicals are injected into the cracked rocks at high pressure. Ultimately the injection forces the gas or oil to flow out of the well(CNN 2012). The whole process of just developing a

Shale Gas(셰일 가스) Shale is one of the most common sedimentary rocks in the world and it is primarily composed of clay and fragments of other minerals such as quartz and calcite. Shale can be the source‚ reservoir and the seal for natural gas. Shale formations normally have low permeability (limited ability for gas or fluids to flow easily through the shale formation) and normally require stimulation techniques (such as fracturing) to economically produce shale gas. Shale gas is natural gas that

Cons of Natural Gas Drilling Gas drilling has had the most impact on Pennsylvania ever since it was discovered. Whether or not it would have a direct impact on the environment is the question everyone has. Or “is it too good to be true?” obviously there are flaws in the idea of natural gas drilling and I am going to point these out whether or not you see the obvious issues on the matter is for you too judge for one’s self. My final question to you is how many people really going to make a huge

Marcellus Shale is a geologic formation containing natural gas that stretches across much of the Eastern U.S.‚ from New York to Tennessee. It has been a topic of hot debate over the past few years and continues to be a point of contention between landowners‚ governments‚ institutions‚ and private companies‚ even earning the attention of President Obama in his 2012 State of the Union speech. While geologists have known of the Marcellus Shale for years‚ early estimates of the amount of natural gas contained

Fracturing is the process used in 9 out of 10 natural gas wells in the United States‚ Where millions of water‚ sand and chemicals are pumped underground to break apart the rock and release the gas. The main purpose for Hydraulic Fracturing is due to its inexpensive extraction. Over the past decade‚ the combination of Hydraulic Fracturing and horizontal drilling has opened up shale deposits across the country and has brought a large quantity of natural gas to new regions. Some places in the nation that practice

These two events occurred close to Preese Hall drilling site‚ where Caudrilla Resources was extracting gas from a shale deposit using a new method called Hydraulic Fracturing‚ often referred to as Fracking. Immediately after the seismic events attention was focused on Caudrilla Resources and this new unconventional process that extracts natural gas by fracturing the surrounding rock. A detailed study of the geological data suggested that the two
