fracking can be traced back to 1865 with Lt. Col. Edward A. L. Roberts’ original patents. The process used to involve using dynamite and nitroglycerine. “Our business since Colonel Roberts’ day has concerned lowering high explosives charges into oil wells in the Appalachian area to blast fractures into the oil bearing sand,” says Tallini. (“Shooters”) Other options for oil ended up taking over due to fracking still being too costly. ("Is Fracking a Good Idea?") Todays hydraulic fracturing…

On September 8th, 2016 Wells Fargo announced it would be paying 185 million dollars in fines to settle the dispute it’s employees caused among customers. Employees in the lower division banks were offered incentives based on their sales progress. “Eight is great” was what the employees were bribed with. Entice eight Wells Fargo products to their customers and receive a cash bonus. This demanding quota urged employees to cut corners and create fake credit card and checking accounts; two million…

of natural gas without fracking he would have to drill hundreds of more wells (Fitzgerald). Fracking actually saves a lot of money considering to drill that many more wells it would decrease profit to a fraction of the original. Fracking therefore increases the initial flow and increase the total recovery (Fitzgerald). Initial flow is very important to many oil producers because they depend on getting their profit from the well as fast as possible. The fact that fracking is increasing the total…

AN ANALYSIS OF THE WELLS FARGO ACCOUNT SCANDAL INTRODUCTION Paying bank fees may be one of the most annoying, unwanted situations customers experience in the banking system. Imagine the fees paid suddenly becoming multiplied, and you were paying for accounts you didn’t even sign up for. For Wells Fargo customers, this nightmare became a harsh reality. The 185 million dollar Wells Fargo Bank account scandal began in 2011 and was revealed to the public five years later after…

cause immediate spending in order to expeditiously repair water systems. The reason for potentially dangerous water supply is that saltwater from oceans (because of the rising levels) and tropical storms can penetrate into nearby soil and groundwater wells, thus salinization of said water occurs. In addition, bacteria and algae find warm waters to be favorable to act as a breeding ground. The combination of salinization (which can manifest a “laxative effect”) along with pathogens can make…

drilling technology that enhances the production capabilities through maximizing the contact area of unconventional wells with the reservoir production zones. During the fracturing process, a special fluid (primarily a mixture of sand and water) is blown out at a high pressure into the shale rock formation creating channels through which hydrocarbons can easily migrate to the well. Multi-stage fracturing is a combination of fracturing and plugging processes. Fractures are made in a reversed…

operation within a mile of their house, which can be extremely dangerous, not only because it impacts the local water sources, but also because of well explosions, which are extremely dangerous, not only because it impacts the local water sources, but also because of well explosions, which are extremely hazardous to surrounding areas. Since fracking wells drill though sands of seismic activity rose steadily to approximately 100 earthquakes annually, with 188 in 2011 along, when shale gas and…

industries including exploration and production of energy. It is one of world's largest oil companies. The foundation of the company goes back to 1879. The company was performing under the name of Pacific Coast Oil Company back then. Despite of company's well performance, the domestic reserves were not enough to satisfy the demand of oil. Therefore Chevron started looking alternative ways to solve the problem. The company decided to use the oil sources outside the USA. In 1932, Chevron made its…
