of ways to contain the wastewater; however‚ some companies believe that using deep well injection as a method of disposal are actually quite wrong. In the US some fracking companies dispose their wastes in deep wells that lie underneath the surface. It has even been directly related to causing earthquakes. This happens in several states in the United States‚ however‚ Pennsylvania has outlawed the use of deep well injection (Easton). As a result‚ the fracking companies are forced to transport the

Given these realities‚ we should not abandon the quest to determine the extent of our offshore oil resources and how much can be recovered in a responsible manner.” (“Energy Policy: Should the United States Increase Domestic Production of Oil and Natural Gas?”). That means if you shut down oil wells around the country‚ it will lead to consumers

In the U.S.‚ there are more than 500‚000 active natural gas wells. Each of these wells requires 400 tanker tucks in order to carry water as well as supplies to the site where fracking will occur. For each of these individual fracking jobs‚ 1 to 8 million gallons of water is used. About 40‚000 gallons of chemicals (per one fracturing job) are used and

currently the best and most efficient way to drill for these substances. Although this technique seems amazing‚ there are many flaws. To begin the Fracking process‚ a well is drilled a mile or more below the surface of the earth. The well goes down thousands of feet and then turns horizontally into a rock formation. After the well is cased and cemented‚ holes are made in the horizontal part of the pipe to allow millions of gallons of liquid to be released into the rock formations. This liquid is

So mud is needed in order to cool down the temperature and also to reduce the frictions. * The mud also will collect all the debris or the drilled cuttings from the wellbore and transport it to the surface. * The other function of drilling mud is to maintain the stability of the well in terms

Environmental Issues Page 9: Closure Hydraulic Fracturing and Why It’s a Concern Today. Hydraulic fracturing‚ commonly referred to as fracking‚ has been a hot topic of debate in the United States of America since its inception in 1947 and first well drill in 1949. The United States was the first country to perform hydraulic fracturing to tap into a previously unavailable resource‚ natural gases deep underground in very small micro veins that spider web across a large area.

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 into the well to depths of between 1‚000 and 4‚000 feet. The space between these casing “strings” and the drilled hole (wellbore)‚ called the annulus‚ is filled with cement. Once the cement
