    Hydraulic fracturing, also known simply as fracking, is a process used to extract natural gas and oil from beneath the earth’s surface. This process is accomplished by drilling a well and pumping pressurized water, proppants such as sand, and chemicals into that well; the result of this process is that fractures occur within the targeted layer of shale rock, which allow for extraction of the desired gas and oil (Hyder and Lerner 2250). As a cleaner burning fuel, natural gas continues to be an…

    What makes drilling in a shale formation unique is the necessity to drill horizontally. Vertical drilling continues to a depth called the kick off point (King). This is where the well bore begins turning (becoming a horizontal well). One of the advantages of horizontal drilling is that its possible to drill several wells from only one drilling pad, minimizing the impact of the surface environment (Curtis 2011). Once the depth and horizontal distance is reached, the drill pipe is removed, and…
