Hydraulic fracturing, which is sometimes called fracking, is when water mixed with various chemicals and other things is pumped into layers of slate, causing the natural gases trapped inside to be released and available for use. It is also causing horrible things and needs to stop. If hydraulic fracturing is stopped, the environment will be healthier, and people living near fracking wells will be more secure in their health and safety. One argument against this is that we need fracking to support

There are several key components to the composition of hydraulic oil that must be noted. The most prominent property of hydraulic oil is that which pertains to its viscosity, in other words its viscosity and viscosity index, this is because these two aspects contained in this one property affect many systems and include but are not limited to; sealing, lubrication, pump efficiency, and rate of contamination. Another property would be the fluids low compressibility as this aspect of the fluid allows

Today the world is at a cross roads in terms of energy. Since the invention of fire humans have constantly been searching for new ways to heat their homes and power all of our growing industries. The newest means if called hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. Fracking is the process of drilling about 2 miles, or 10,650 feet, in order to reach the shale level of the earth. The shale holds an abundance of shale gas that is formed by the decomposition of plant materials over millions of years. Once they

What is Fracking you ask? Fracking is what companies such as BP and others use to retrieve oil and natural gas from very deep underground. These companies dig wells and they push millions of gallons of water and sand that is mixed in with dangerous chemicals. At such a high pressure, this water and the chemicals fracture the rock and allow the oil and natural gas to be accessed by the companies that need it (1). The danger and harm that fracking causes is crazy! The chemicals that seep into the ground
