Therefore, Rockefeller had joined the South Improvement Company (SIC) in 1872,…
Fracking, also known as hydraulic fracturing, is a type of drilling that uses water, sand and chemicals, shot at high pressure, to release energy resources trapped inside rocks. This recently new technology for drilling allows areas that were previously inaccessible for drilling, like very concentrated rocky areas, to now be opened up through fracking to obtain natural gases and oil. The water solution used with this drilling technique produces almost the same amount of “sludge” as an after…

components are known and are accessible to the public through the website fracfocus.org, which organizes most of fracking fluids components into files that are accessed by a user typing in a location to view the nearest wellsite’s formula, with exceptions to the chemicals label “trade secret.” The most important component of fracking fluid is water, which makes up most of the composition of fracking fluid. Water is the most important part of fracking fluid, because it is the component that…
