Hydraulic fracturing is a fairly new method used to extract resources that can be used for energy. “Hydraulic fracturing, known as fracking, injects a mixture of water, sand, and chemicals under high pressure into dense rock formations- shale, tight sandstone or coal beds- to crack the rock and release natural gas”(Hydraulic Fracturing Should Be Banned). The area in which hydraulic fracturing takes place is called a play. Hydraulic fracturing is a highly controversial subject with many points
would be poised to fall into oblivion - thus raising the concern of possible contamination of hydraulic fracturing sites in regards to the local drinking supply. According to Trevor Smith of Chemical Engineer Progress, the possibility of contamination ranges due to a variety of circumstances and actions taken by hydraulic fracturing organizations. Hydraulic fracturing occurs through the use of a hydraulic fluid and when improperly stored after usage (usually it will be put in the ground again) could
Hydraulic fracturing is an extremely intrusive process on a community's infrastructure, economic status and environment among other things. Whether the the impact is positive or negative is something that can be debated. However, one thing that cannot be debated is the harsh and toxic chemicals that are released when hydraulic fracturing or ‘fracking’ occurs. This was the basis of my persuasive speech, and how those chemicals are released into the groundwater supply and poisons that supply. With
Hydraulic fracturing has been around for several years as a controversial topic. Fracking is a controversial topic, because of how it might impact the environment, and the pros/cons of it. Many people think fracking is good, because of all the jobs it has created, and the money it has brought in to the economy. Others think fracking is bad, because of the pollution and health problems. In this paper, I plan to talk about why fracking is such a hot topic, what kind of problem is it, and how it works
Fracking refers to the procedure of creating fractures in rocks and rock formations by injecting fluid into cracks to force them further open. Fracking is a slang term for hydraulic fracturing. The operation starts out by drilling vertically into the ground to a desired depth. It then turns ninety degrees and continues horizontally several thousand feet into shale, believed to contain trapped natural gas. A mixture of water, sand, and various chemicals, is pumped at high pressure into the well, which
fracking is the process of injecting liquid at high pressure into subterranean rocks, boreholes, etc., so as to force open existing fissures and extract oil or gas: Also called hydraulic fracturing.- Oxford Dictionary. Since you now know what fracking is I will give you a more in depth on how fracking actually works. Fracking hydraulic is the process that oil companies use to access natural gas and other fossil fuels from the a layer of shale usually a couple thousand feet below the earth's surface. Once
release and extract natural gas and petroleum from shale rock. In the United States it has resulted in large profit for the energy industry and lower domestic energy prices. The benefits are good but the impact it has made on the environment near fracturing sites has been negative. Environmentalist want the technique of fracking banned. The technique should be banned because it plays a part in global warming, affects our water, and causes human health problems. It contributes to global warming by releasing
Effects on the environment The main effects of fracking on the environment is the water consumption and pollution of air/water. Fracking uses approximately 8 million liters of water per fracturing, a well can be fractured around 18 times, so that means 144 000 000 liters of water is used for each fracturing site. Another problem consists of air, noise and water pollution. When the natural gas is extracted, 3% of the gas is lost into the atmosphere. The water pollution occurs when the natural gas
I have done mini project titled “A STUDY OF INDUSTRIAL HYDRAULICS IN BLAST FURNANACE” under the supervision of Deputy General Manager DR.RAMESHCHANDAR in Vizag Steel Plant where I have got good knowledge of hydraulics and its usages. I have done a project on “FORD CARS AND SERVICES” in a company named Vibrant Automobile Pvt Limited under the guidance’s of service manager Mr. Kouser Ali
