disposal wells permit and logs from the Utah DOGM website were used to verify the depth of the two sections of the Birds Nest. The total volume number will be the 100 percent of the Birds Nest, including anything inside this aquifer (i.e. sandstone, shale, etc.). Only one percent of the total volume will be selected to represent the porous area that can receive fluids for this study purpose as a base scenario to investigate if is possible for injected water to migrate outside the aquifer…

so they flow easier. There are a few common problems present in clay bodies. The first would be scumming, which is the presence of a white film on the clay after firing. Another being lime pops, which occurs when a clay body contains limestone or shale that pops off after bisque firing. This may also be seen in clay contaminated with plaster. Clay can be found for pottery all over the world, and once it is dug up, may be tested for properties to determine the best use. After being soaked to…

Fracking is a simple process that involves “drilling down deep through to the shale levels and then drilling horizontally to fracture the rock” (Hoffman). This technique has expanded and taken over other techniques previously used. The United States, before the fracking, “were highly dependent on foreign countries to meet the energy…

to be mitigated, fracking must be banned. It might sound radical but no amount of creating sustainable alternative methods for hydraulic fracturing, can be a 100% sustainable solution vision. The latest technology of alternate methods of extracting shale gas has already been adopted in Canada and could come to American fields in the near future: liquefied propane gas (LPG). This gas fracturing does not require large amounts of water and reduces the need for what chemicals are used in fracking.…

The Niagara Escarpment is an escarpment in the United States of America and Canada. This escarpment has been very important to humans, animals and plant life. This escarpment houses over 479 species of wildlife and over 100 varieties of special interest floras that make up almost 40% of Ontario’s rare floras. Here the escarpment has some of Ontario’s best skiing, camping, swimming, fishing, boating, hiking and scenic viewing, generating over $100 million. This escarpment stretches from…

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 order starting form the end of the…

Results: In Tully Valley, the mudboils are where pressurized groundwater flows up through a restricting layer of silt, clay and fine sand. Mudboils usually take place in subduction zones of the Earth. The mudboil causes the land surface to slowly decline and the erosion of suspended sediment which creates a sequence of concentric ring fractures around the discharging mudboil. Mudboils are driven by pressurized groundwater, geothermic heat, and gases. As a consequence, the mudboils…

the distribution and moving of soils (“Development Impacts”). A. Fracking (Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico) One of the big reasons fracking is becoming such a talked about form of extraction is because we are able to extract oil for underdeveloped shale rocks instead of waiting on them to develop fully and then drill like the conventional method. There are a lot of environmental risks associated with fracking such as polluting groundwater due to the injection of poisonous chemicals pushed down…

Being an African American once a slave, Frederick Douglass had many qualities. Douglass was not only an abolitionist (a person who favors the abolition of a practice or isution, especially capital punishment or informally slaver), but also an African American social reformer, public speaker, a politician, and a writer. Becoming an abolitionist leader and a great writer people found it hard to believe, since he had once been a slave and slaves weren’t allowed to learn to read or write. Equality…
