    Hydraulic fracturing has become a very popular issue in the United States. Hydraulic fracturing, referred to as fracking, is a process used by natural gas producers to fracture the shale rock below Earth’s surface to produce natural gas that was once thought unreachable. The boom of natural gas has brought jobs and it has also made almost dead communities flourish with people. Although it produces satisfactory results some people do not agree with the process. Fracking is a dirty process that…

    Hydraulic fracturing or fracking made a dramatic entrance into the national and international scene between 2009 and 2014. During these years, the United States became the world's top oil producer. It also created a huge demand for trucking to haul sand, water, equipment, drilling fluids, and other materials. OPEC responded to this challenge by flooding the market with oil to drive down oil prices below the break-even price for doing fracking profitably. The intent was to bankrupt the fracking…

    Fracking As shale and fracking is increasing, the International Energy Agency projects that the United States could become the world’s leading oil producer by 2015 (WhatIsFracking.com). Fracking or hydraulic fracturing is the process of drilling down into the earth. A high-pressure water mixture is directed at the rock to release the gas inside. Soon, water, sand and chemicals are injected into the rock at a high pressure, which allows the gas to flow out to the head of the well (BBC.com).…

    Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is the process in which chemicals and liquids are injected into rocks below the Earth’s surface at high pressure to extract the natural gas or oil trapped inside the rock. Below the surface of the United States lies trillions of cubic feet of natural gas, a quantity which is twice the amount of oil in Saudi Arabia. Although opponents of fracking claim that the process causes several safety risks and hazards, and is harmful for the environment, hydraulic…

    Hydraulic fracturing, better known as fracking, is a controversial method of extracting gas and oil by injecting liquids at high pressures into the ground to force open fissures. Although fracking has been around for over half a century, it still remains a very debated topic and for good reason. Fracking has the potential to create jobs, reduce dependence on foreign oil sources, and lower taxes, among many other positive effects. However, fracking is also dangerous to the environment is…

    in all sorts of places like creeks, mountains, rivers, streams and the ocean. You can get gold not just in America but in most of the countries of the world and not just dug up by hand. There are multiple types of gold mining: hard rock mining, hydraulic mining, and placer mining. Hard rock mining is mining hundred of feet underground in tunnels inside of mountains. Hard rock miners use tunnel boring machines, crusher, and drilling rig. Tunnel boring machine is a machine that consists of a bunch…

    Fracking is defined as the process which entails drilling down into the earth surface. The drilling is done before the high-pressure water is channeled towards the rock with the aim of aiding in the release of the gas inside. Sand, chemicals, and water are, therefore, injected into a particular rock coupled with high pressure to enable efficacy in the flow of gas out to the head of the well. It is worth noting that the working of fracking entails several steps. The first step is on drilling a…
