Introduction Fracking is a highly debated form of removing natural gas and oil from the ground and comes with both pros and cons. Oxford Dictionary defines Fracking as “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.”. This method allows us to reach these resources in places that are difficult to get to. The issue with this method is that it brings more…

Before the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 the U.S. had no liability on oil spills. The problem was still reoccurring even though over 10,000 oil spills were occurring every year around the country. It wasn’t until the major Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska that it was shown that there was no protocol or organization to immediately and effectively clean up the large spill. In the Conference report for the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, it is stated that there was a great increase on the liability of oil…

price of oil which allowed for an increase in oil production as well as competition and by 1988 non OPEC oil production had rissen 54% with countries like Mexico, Brazil, USSR, and the U.K. beginning to produce more and more oil along with the U.S. drilling in Alaska and in the Gulf of Mexico. By 1985 Saudi Arabia and OPEC, while still major players, lost much of their wing power and were unable to affect the price of crude oil the way they had in the 70’s.

Fossil fuels are a critical component in the functioning of our society. These resources are staples in maintaining the energized life styles that people have become used to. Fossil fuels are sources of energy derived from animal and plant remains from more than 300 million years ago (U.S. Department of Energy 2013). These remains were then coated with combinations of clay and rock called sediment (Energy Quest 2012). Sedimentary rock effectively protected the hydrocarbons in fossil fuels…

scales human society must elevate and integrate this multilevel task into their governance. Impact of The Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill on Bioavailable Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons discussed how a lethal explosion at the Deepwater Horizon oil drilling rig located near the Louisiana coast led to the largest marine oil spill in United States history. This study communicated that the Deepwater Horizon oil spill impacted coastal waters of the Gulf of Mexico and contributed to temporary increases…

marine science technicians have played an extremely important role in many recent national and world wide issues. One of the current events they have been involved in is the issue of “Fracking”. The American term “Fracking” comes from the process of drilling for oil near lake, rivers, and even human homes. When the process of fracking is over it usually leaves oil spooling over in the water supply. This harms the wildlife and even the humans the in environment where fracking occurred, this is…
