reserves are currently
climbing due to “Fracking”
Hydraulic fracturing …with the spelling "fracking" being
common in media reports[3]) is a process that results in the
creation of fractures in rocks.
The most important industrial use is in stimulating oil and gas wells, where
hydraulic fracturing has been used for over 60 years in more than one million
wells.[citation needed] The fracturing is done from a wellbore drilled into reservoir
rock formations to increase the rate and ultimate recovery of oil and natural
gas.
Some environmental and human health concerns possibly associated with
hydraulic fracturing include the contamination of ground water, risks to air
quality, the migration of gases and hydraulic fracturing chemicals to the
surface, and the potential mishandling of waste.
In April 2010 the state of Pennsylvania banned Cabot Oil & Gas Corp. from
further drilling in the entire state until it plugs wells believed to be the source
of contamination of the drinking water of 14 homes in Dimock Township PA.
The investigation was initiated after a water well exploded on New Year's
Day in 2009. The state investigation revealed that Cabot Oil & Gas Company
"had allowed combustible gas to escape into the region's groundwater
supplies."[19]
