Also known as hydrofracturing, or fracking, it is a method of extracting natural gas and oil from shale formations and packed sand. Wells are drilled 4,000 to 5,000 feet below the surface, and ...

What ended the crisis? According to Mr. Forbes, there’s an energy “revolution” on that’s due to the application of a drilling technique known as hydraulic fracturing or, in the parlance of ...

Most ice shelf fractures don’t have any liquid water in them as of yet. But as you may have heard, the world is getting warmer. And as it does, hydrofracturing could become a big problem.

Hydrofracturing is used in 60 to 80 percent of the nation's wells, including those in Kansas. The technology has been used since 1949 to increase well production.

Known as hydrofracturing, it's when heavier liquid water forces the fractures to suddenly split open. The shelves themselves obviously constitute no small degree of water as ice.

Hydrofracturing of this kind has already been observed in Antarctica. Existing fracture systems within Antarctica’s coastal ice shelves (white) predicted by a machine-learning model.

Hydrofracturing is a known commodity—it was probably the dominant process in the sudden collapse of Antarctica’s Larsen B ice shelf in 2002.

Another accomplice is the state DEC whose admitted job is to protect industry from a ban, not to protect human health. The state SGEIS is a de facto industrial land use plan that protects 15 ...

On Fox Business' "How America Works", Mike Rowe explains how Cameron Energy brings in 500,000 gallons of new oil every year – and how they speculate on a brand new $100,000 well in which they ...

This publication by the American Council on Science and Health (ACSH) is a systematic, objective review of documented types and rates of hydrofracturing-fluid- and chemical-related incidents affecting ...

By H. ORTIZ DONGAN HILLS     I am NOT in favor of Marcellus shale drilling. Instead let’s conserve energy.     To start, eliminate Generation Welfare, because ...
