In a reversal from the recent past, the Northeast has become a net supplier of natural gas and the South a net consumer, thanks to 'fracking,' according to a new study.
By Bobby Magill · If you’re wondering where oil and gas production and hydraulic fracturing are happening near you, FracTracker has a new mapping tool that will help you find out. Areas where America's 1.1 million oil and gas wells, both conventional and hydraulically fractured, are found are highlighted in orange. Texas, where many of the wells are concentrated, is excluded because FracTracker was unable to publish data from the state. Click image to enlarge: Credit: FracTracker.org ...
Shale Gas is methane (natural gas) which is trapped in impermeable shale rock deep underground, unlike conventional natural gas which is in permeable rocks, such as sandstone. The gas cannot flow through the shale, so simply drilling a well, as you would for conventional natural gas, is not enough. The shale rock must be cracked to free the gas, hence the need for hydraulic fracturing (fracking). For the same reason it is necessary to drill large numbers of wells at regular intervals. To produce...
What is natural gas? ; The search for natural gas begins with geologists who study the structure and processes of the earth. They locate the types of geologic formations that are likely to contain natural gas deposits. Geologists often use seismic surveys on land and in the ocean to find the right places to drill natural gas and oil wells. Seismic surveys create and measure seismic waves in the earth to get information on the geology of rock formations. Seismic surveys on land may use a thumper ...
Demonstrate the tremendous amount of natural gas flaring around the world. ; Learn if flaring is a chronic problem in your community or places you care about. ; Track active drilling in gas-producing regions where flaring occurs only during the drilling and completion of wells.
