Fracking Tackling Green Issues in the Industry
We know you’re probably not used to hearing the words, hydraulic fracturing and green energy, in the same sentence, let alone the idea that fracking can help promote a cleaner energy future right here in America. We all know that natural gas has fewer carbon emissions than the oil and coal that have traditionally been […]
China Fracking Boom?
We understand that our readers, and especially our clients, are all found within North America, but with other countries investing in their natural gas drilling and extraction, it’s important to know what the global hydraulic fracturing industry looks like. Recently, there have been a lot of questions about China. How are trade relations going to […]
The Economic Ramifications of Fracking
In our blog Putting Money Back into Households, we touched on the variety of ways that fracking can help to free up an additional $1000 per household across the nation per year due to overall lower energy and fuel costs. But there is a fine line in the fracking industry right now between collecting too much […]
No Room For Coal in a Natural Gas Market
Many countries got their start and were able to develop into industrialized nations because of coal. Coal powered homes and factories, provided with critical electricity for light and energy in order to run machines, produced many products for consumers. Coal was the cornerstone of the Industrial Revolution. However, now that we’ve reached the year 2017, […]
Natural Gas Exports are Key for the United States
Americans aren’t the only ones benefiting from domestic natural gas production. In fact, the United States is quickly approaching a critical tipping point for natural gas production and exports that has never before been seen in the industry. Due to the energy needs across America, the United States does import some natural gas, as well […]
The New Fight Against Fracking, and You’ll Never Guess What it is!
While there have been many concerns surrounding the process of hydraulic fracturing, especially concerns about groundwater and air quality, a new issue has arisen in the fracking world leading to quite a bit of debate, and you’ll never guess what it is! A new study conducted by staff at West Virginia University looked at the […]
A New Ecosystem Found in Fracking Wells
When you think about hydraulic fracturing and the depths, pressure, heat, and other factors that create a hostile environment a mile and a half below the Earth’s surface, you may think that there is no way for life to survive. But as always, life wills out. A study conducted by the University of Ohio examined […]
What is a Fracking Pond and All the Various Alternatives?
Hydraulic fracturing dominates much of the United States’ energy production currently and has been a major factor in the ability for power plants all over the nation to phase out coal, one of the dirtiest fossil fuels to burn. However, much like the name suggests a hydraulic processes utilizes fluids in order to extract natural […]
Carbon Emissions at a 20-Year Low. Thank Hydraulic Fracture Drilling.
Let’s face it: everywhere you turn these days, there is news about climate change. Left and right, there is information about global temperatures rising and the increase of greenhouse gases due to carbon emissions. We know that energy creation with substances like coal can release high levels of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, increasing the […]
