With seven billion people living on earth, are we inevitably going to run out of some of our most necessary natural resources? Energy is something which we rely on all the time. Coal and petroleum are what produce the fossil fuels which allow us to live our life as we are used to it. These fossil fuels are however a limited resource. They do not reproduce at the rate we are consuming them - and they won’t for many millions of years. Renewable energy, sadly, is an expensive alternative and only…

towards this type of oil and natural gas production is highly controversial and bring a great amount of tension between U.S. citizens and our nation 's oil companies. This tension has many facing the reality that even though Fracking has many beneficial properties, the negative attributes outweigh the positives by overwhelming figures. Fracking was first introduced in 1947 by Stanolind Oil and Gas company in the state of Kansas. Their attempts to use Fracking to collect gas and oil were…

Fracking: Good or Bad? Take a look around your house and you will see many items that run on natural gasses. Some of these items include: Heaters, stoves, washers and dryers, and washing machines. Nowadays, natural gasses are not easily accessible, and they are in high demand. One way to obtain these gasses is through a high risk, high reward procedure called hydraulic fracturing, or fracking for short. Hydraulic fracturing is defined as: "A process in which fractures in rocks below the…

Bellatrix Exploration Ltd is an oil and natural gas company that operates in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin, Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Bellatrix was before known as True Energy founded by Raymond G Smith. “The company focuses on operating with integrity and conducting operations in a safe and environmentally responsible manner while providing sustained shareholder growth in value”- Raymond G Smith, CEO. In this report you will find out a problem Bellatrix is facing, three possible…

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 important prospect in the…

drive, and some of that energy is made into electric energy. Although this energy source is harmless, the cost of building and maintaining a dam can be too much for countries that doesn 't possess an abundance of wealth. Non-Renewable Energy * Natural Gas * Oil * Coal * Nuclear…

Do you think the United States would ever be without pollution of any sort? If fracking is a major form of attaining natural gas in the United States, there is a chance there won’t be. Fracking, or hydraulic fracking, is the drilling down into the earth to remove shale and other natural gases. Fracking can be controversial because it could be good economical but can be very bad environmental wise. This process uses many chemicals and is very bad for the environment, especially dealing with…

On Tuesday, February 11, 2014, workers at a fracking well were about to begin a safety meeting at a fracking well site. The three wells on the site were drilled and ready to produce fresh natural gas. The wells were owned and operated by Chevron Appalachia, in Dunkard Township, Pennsylvania, of southwest of Pittsburgh. One of the wells was making a hissing noise. The hissing noise was methane escaping from a damaged well. The well exploded while one of the workers, Ian McKee, was investigating…

In the last week of February, a historical event took place here in the U.S. when a tanker left the coast of Louisiana carrying America’s first liquefied natural gas (LNG) export to Brazil. Symbolically, the tanker marked a new era of energy production and trade and was a sign of the U.S.’s new position as an independent player in the Energy Sector. In many ways, this milestone was made possible by the decade-old shale boom that was pioneered and propelled by the energy visionary, Mr. Aubrey…
