Essays on Fracking
Fracking is a new method or way of accessing natural deposits of shale gas and oil that are hidden deep within the earth. Fracking as a process or hydraulic fracturing includes and involves the inoculation of a mixture of sand, water, and chemical compounds into the well of oil or gas (Thompson, 2013). The injection […]
Did you know that a 2011 5.7 magnitude earthquake in Oklahoma was caused by fracking? This is shocking because the area isn’t particularly known for earthquakes. Evidently, many effects arise from fracking, including positive economical effects and negative environmental. Each day, fracking is becoming a more and more controversial topic. It has even been banned […]
The first question when hearing hydraulic fracking, it pops the question for what exactly is it? Hydraulic fracking (“fracturing”) is a controversial oil and gas extraction technique developed in the late 1940s to gain access to fossil energy deposits previously inaccessible to drilling operations. In the early 2000s, energy companies began combining horizontal (or directional) […]

The author of the passage “Fracking Contributes to Global Warming” starts off by employing his opinion on the process of abstracting oil and gas from the ground, which is called “Fracking”. Louis believed that fracking has gone to the “extreme” nowadays since a great deal of the “conventional reservoirs have been exploited” to extract gas […]
The oil and Gas production companies have experienced tremendous growth since the inception of Hydraulic Fracturing. Although Fracking has been around for decades but just recently, the process has been simplified by using these revolutionary drilling and extraction technologies which have been benefited the energy and land owners. However, most of these lands that are […]
