In the article, “The truth about fracking,” Chris Mooney analyzes the effects of fracking by big companies looking to extract natural gas. Fracking is done by drilling deep underground, even 5000 feet at times, and shooting high pressure water loaded with chemicals to extract gases that serve as energy. The U.S. has been fracking for about 65 years and there is enough gas in U.S. soil to last many decades to come but there are many setbacks. Fracking consumes a lot of water with many chemicals and

stimulation of geothermal reservoirs (Austin et al, 1973), and fracturing oil shale with explosives (Miller and Johansen, 1976). It is well known that energy released during blasting causes damage in the surrounding rocks in the form of micro to macro cracks, which increases the permeability of rocks. It is therefore of prime importance in reservoir

natural resources would help to boost the economy, and reduce domestic prices of oil and petroleum based commodities including but not limited to; ink, nylon rope, dyes, crayons, deodorant, trash bags, shoes, and petrol. Not only would the price of physical goods decrease, but also the price of energy, as most of it is created by burning fossil fuels.

as it is commonly called is not a new method of resource extraction but by no means would it be considered traditional. It is commonly understood that there are no completely perfect methods of extracting fossil fuels no matter their chemical or physical makeup and the same is true of fracking. There are challenges associated with the human error factor just as there are in any other types of project development; these generally surround the construction and best business practices surrounding the

by capping the wellhead, after releasing almost 5 million barrels (206 million gallons) of crude oil, or 53,000 barrels per day into the Gulf of Mexico. It was not until September 19th that the relief well process was complete and the U.S. Government, EPA, and Coast Guard agencies declared the well breach effectively stopped (Cavnar, 2010). The damage caused by the spill is almost immeasurable; ecological, political, economic, social it almost devastated the U.S. Gulf Coast fishing and tourism

Scientists have also reported immense underwater plumes of dissolved oil not visible at the surface as well as an 8 km² "kill zone" surrounding the blown well.[1] The U.S. Government has named BP as the responsible party, and officials have committed to holding the company accountable for all cleanup costs and other damage.[2] After its own internal probe, BP admitted that it made

This is research that involves active participants and equal partners. These agencies bring different skills, knowledge and expertise and could get information that I would

Intro and Background British Petroleum as a company was founded in 1954, however its roots go back another half century. British geologists discovered oil underneath Iran in 1908 and by 1909 the Anglo-Persian Oil Company (APOC) began drilling for the British government. APOC benefited from World War I as it was predicted all British naval ships will soon be converted from coal to oil and the company could spread further into Europe. Refineries were built in Whales, Scotland and were bought in France
