How it Works: Horizontal Drilling & Hydraulic Fracturing (aka Fracking)

[@romliahmadabdulnadzir1607]

The previous study of shale mechanics related to avoiding major vertical fractures, the new horizontal drilling technology that makes this possible, and fracking subject only to gas wells and dense formation. It contributed to safety and costs, as well as further damage from vertical severe fractures.

Thank you for video ... Could you share the name of the software used to make this wonderful animation

Pulling had to be temporarily stopped due to rig breakdown. Exit side( pipe side) is bank of pond and now it is raining heavily at the site. Water level increased up to hole level. Since rig side level is lower than pipe side level, water is flowing through hole from pond to rig side.Can you suggest any technique to temporarily plug the hole to prevent water seepage from pipe side to rig side.

Renewable energy seems to fail right when you need it most, so hydrocarbons will be a part of the energy mix for a long time to come.

why can't we frack in between each of the fractures also?

Ground/geological stability concerns.

[@xenoization]

Because fracking causes structural damage to the surrounding area. Which makes long term, close proximity fracking, dangerous for workers and near by inhabitants. Excessive fracking can lead to things like sink holes, fissures, and run off damage caused by the chemical slurry used to pressurize gaps in the crust- may also pollute local water sources, long term. Unfortunately, it's difficult to predict when and where (In the surrounding area) a fractured site can 'go off'. Which makes the land used for fracking essentially unusable for any other practical purpose. states like Ohio and West Virginia have many stories about fracking damage in the long term that may be of interest to you.

@@xenoization Fractures are only this wide ] [ filled with sand. When the pressure is released, all of the stress goes back to what it was before the fracture within days. All of the "slurry" must be removed from the fractures & wellbore for the well to produce. A gas well is "KILLED" by pumping in a "slurry." The fractures are typically a mile under ground. They are less likely to cause any problems than the fractures caused by water in reservoirs.

how can i meet you

Fracking takes a lot of energy and then this area is complete. Why our nation does not have an energy plan that includes nuclear is foolish and maybe on purpose.

Test the water I bet money that shulit is contaminated

There's no K in Frac. Hydraulic Fracture Stimulation. That's what it's technically called. Do you see a K? now we all know you don't know what you're talking about.

I love the propaganda at the end of the video 😐

You have a problem with being proud to live in America? 😂get lost buddy.

Saudis made these bankrupt

[@dswagler]

What the hell are you trying to say?

[@Fin4L6are]

they dropped the price of the oil market primarily to out compete these

[@dswagler]

@@Fin4L6are Wrong. Fracking makes the US less dependent on Saudi oil. The Saudis cut their price to become more competitive. You have it exactly backwards.

[@Fin4L6are]

@@dswagler I'm not convinced. if the US wants to keep their shale that's great. But there's no way they can compete on the world stage, once the saudis make the price go down. I can't see fracking companies not losing money and going bankrupt as we speak.

[@dswagler]

@@Fin4L6are According to the DoE, 95% of new wells are fracked, so there is your opinion and there are the facts. Take the last word. I am done. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_fracturing_in_the_United_States
