Natural Gas Hydraulic Fracturing

Natural Gas Hydraulic Fracturing is also known as “hyrdrofracking”. Hydrofracking is a method to mine natural gasses from the earth in a more economical manner. It is defined as:

“which enables natural gas producers to recover natural gas from dense shale formations.  During the drilling process, the drill will bore deep down into the earth and then horizontally for approximately 8,ooo feet in each direction. The Hydrofracking process uses a relatively substantial more amount of water compared to that used in conventional drilling “about 6-8 million gallons more,” as well as a mixture of chemical additives that are pumped into the shale to fracture the rock and release the gas.”

Examples of the fuels mixed with the water are : diesel fuel, biocides, benzene and hydrochloric acid.Due to the chemicals and high toxicity of the “slick water”  hydrofracking poses a threat to the contamination of water in the area. Companies use this method because it is economically efficient and makes the process go by faster. Companies are unwilling to work with environmental groups such as the EPA by not disclosing which chemicals they use. Their drilling methods are important to their business and would not want any action taken against them. Unfortunately this puts drinking water at risk, meaning any animal or human health could be negatively affected if drunk.

The upsides to this process are that it does help business economically and keeps our dependency on foreign import of gasses, creating a better American economy. This process is also believed to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases we release by using natural energy resources in producing, transporting and using electricity. It is said to be a better method than coal and oil for energy sources and has less effect of the environment.

In the end it seems that hydrofracking seems beneficial for society and the environment. There is always improvement for everything in life and I believe that with further research and innovation there may be ways created to eliminate the threat of polluting drinking water.
