Old Well

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…

Utility is related to the well being of sentient entities. According to Jeremy Bentham, it has been defined as the pleasure derived after deducting suffering. Not only the quantity but also the quality of leisure is notified. A lot of persons have rejected that pleasure has only…

I want to start out saying that I really didn’t know anything about Islam, Mecca or the Hajj. So this whole video was quite the learning experience. What I found the most interesting is the…hoops that they have to go through to be completely forgive. Having to go on this journey, if female asking for a males permission to go, and how much it costs. I found it silly that you could pay for a better tent to sleep in – considering that they all supposed to be one and the same. The whole concept of…

“Leaders in a crisis are forced to operate in full public view, with the media and others positioned to report and critique their actions” (James & Woothen, 2005). Especially with the widespread propagation of bloggers and social media outlets, Voulgaris was faced with dealing with a media that was changing with the time. To manage the perceptions of a changing demographic, she assigned staff to specifically handling the social media circles and she countered rumors and speculation with…

external workplace communication to inform, persuade, and educate their constituents on business, product, or service information. Companies elevate their brand when their trade name is reputable. When you see names such as Edward Jones, Starbucks, Wells Fargo, you immediately recognize the brand and name because of communication strategies. The way a company communicates to their stakeholders is measured…

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, hydraulic fracturing or fracking is a “well stimulation process used to maximize the extraction of underground resources.” The resource most commonly extracted using hydraulic fracturing is natural gas. The practice of hydraulic fracturing is highly controversial as proponents and opponents debate its environmental benefits and costs. To begin, the use of hydraulic fracturing has greatly increased in the twenty-first century. The…

the rock at a high pressure, which allows the gas to flow out to the head of the well (BBC.com). Fracking refers to how the rock is fractured apart by the pressure; in fact, experts moreover refer it to a frac job and a frac unit (BBC.com). In nineteen forty-seven Floyd Farris of Standind Oil and gas began a study on relationships between oil and gas…

Competition was so high because the later that a worker arrived on site the more competition he had to face, less pay as well as shorter working time. The mobile workers were usually second on site. Mobile workers are classified as teamsters, tool dressers and roustabouts. They were usually second because they worked with the mobile crew which took more time to get from…

In this paper the topics about ethics and privacy are going to be the main topics of discussion. Two businesses are going to be used in order to give examples about ethics and privacy. The bank Wells Fargo is going to be used to explained bad ethics and bad privacy. Wells Fargo has failed the code of ethics, and also violated their costumer’s privacy, because they used information that should have been used without the customer’s consent. The company Nike is going to be used to represent good…
