is obtained because the gas or oil are trapped in the rock. Hydraulic fracturing is a process that “stimulates” the wells that are drilled in to the rock causing the rock to “fracture” (where the name comes from), releasing more gas or oil. (Hoffman, 2012) “Fracking” makes this operation that used to be expensive not so expensive anymore. Fracking is the next step after the main well has been drilled and lined with steel pipe that is inserted all the way in. near the zone where the fracking will happen

Hydraulic fracturing is a controversial practice commonly used by oil and natural gas producers. This practice, better known as “fracking”, is used to stimulate the production of oil by fracturing shale to release natural gas. The birth modern day hydraulic fracturing began as early as the 1940s and today it is widely practiced across the United States, from new york, to Oklahoma, even all the way to California. The process of fracking is fairly simple, hydraulic fracturing (fracking) involves tapping

If you think that by living in the areas of Oklahoma, Kentucky, Colorado, New Mexico, Arkansas, and Texas that you are safe from the threat of earthquakes, you are sadly mistaken. The threat in these areas aren’t as high as if you were to live in or near the Ring of Fire, but these earthquakes are made by humans. According to the United States Geological Survey, “Human activities, such as wastewater disposal from drilling oil and gas can cause earthquakes.” From 1973 to 2008, they have seen 20 earthquakes

My Texas and US government class has impacted my education the most outside of my engineering classes. Knowing about the governmental system and political parties helps engineers like me understand and influence the policies that affect our jobs. The federal, state, and local governments determine and enforce safety and environmental standards through agencies like OSHA and the EPA.

The following document is a transcript from a sit down interview conducted between chief executive officer Jim Ellis who is responsible for the operations of the new Alberta Energy Regulator and Crystal Lameman who is known to advocate on behalf of Alberta First Nations.

United States, China and Russia are the top 3 producers of Oil shale in the world. Oil shale is important because of its usage and economical factor , It can be transformed or treated into diesel and jet fuels or petrol. Oil shale was deposited in the Songlio Basin(NE china) during the upper cretaceous period, representing an excellent hydrocarbon source of rocks. By definition Oil shale also knows as kerogen shale is a fine grained sedimentary rock containing organic matter that yields substantial

Remediation efforts have repaired the site. I think that working in a location that has been remediated has given me a desire to research how humans can more efficiently use the landscape at a minimal environmental cost. Water is very interesting to me as well. The Yellowstone River has numerous oil pipelines that cross the channel. An oil spill in 2011 near

price of oil all over the country making gas prices go up and eventually affecting the whole economy. Then the United States would have no oil and the economy would be suffering from a lack of jobs from a quarter of the oilfield being shut down as well as higher gas prices which slows travel down. With higher gas prices people do not travel as much and hotels, airlines, and many other industries will be suffering from it. The United States already imports oil from unstable countries such as Saudi
