Hydraulic Fracturing Research Paper

Worldwide, countries depend on oil and often depend on foreign oil. The United States supports terrorism and is in the process of purchasing foreign oil to harm our economy. It was found that the shale layer of deep underground in the United States contains natural gas. This includes the Marcellus shale layer and the Utica shale layer, which are found throughout New York and the East Coast (Hydro-Fracking pg. 1). Hydraulic crushing was invented to obtain abundant natural gas in the basement, but this new natural gas extraction method is safe for the environment and people around it.

Large scale hydraulic fracture (also known as large scale hydraulic fracturing) was first introduced by Pan American Petroleum in 1968 in Stevens County, Oklahoma, USA. The definition of large hydraulic crushing varies, but generally refers to the treatment of more than 150 short tons, or the injection of about 300,000 pounds (136 tons) of propant. American geologists increasingly recognize that gas permeability is too low (usually less than 0.1 mildarl) gas saturated sandstones to recover natural gas economically. Since 1973, massive hydraulic fracturing has been used in thousands of gas wells in the San Juan Basin, the Denver Basin, the Pisease Basin, the Green River Basin, and other hard rock formations in the western United States.

Shale hydraulic fracture dates back to 1965, when some of the operators of the Big Sandy oil fields in eastern Kentucky and southern West Virginia started using Ohio Shale and Cleveland Shale for relatively small crushing. The crushing operation usually increases production, especially from low yield wells. In 1976, the US government launched an Eastern gas shale project including many public and private civil hydraulic fracturing demonstration projects. During the same period, the Natural Gas Industry Research Institute, Natural Gas Research Institute received research and fund approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
