What is fracking? You may have heard about the effects this oil and gas extraction technique have on the environment, but its impacts extend far beyond that. Between 2007 and 2016, oil production in ...
California oil and gas regulators have formally released their plan to phase out fracking three years after essentially halting new permits for the practice. The California Geologic Energy Management ...
Southern Ohio discovers toxic fracking wastewater migrating from deep injection wells, contaminating local groundwater. Fragmented state-level regulations and undisclosed fracking fluid compositions ...
New research confirms fracking causes slow, small earthquakes or tremors, whose origin was previously a mystery to scientists. The tremors are produced by the same processes that could create large, ...
A fracked well in West Texas can produce five times as much wastewater as oil. Every day, fleets of tanker trucks haul hundreds of millions of gallons of this toxic brine to loosely regulated disposal ...
A truck filled with gas departs a newly completed gas well. The flare is burning because infrastructure to transport the gas via pipelines was not completed in time. Climate Change Is Helping an ...
Fracking is an extreme method of oil and gas extraction that involves blasting huge amounts of water — mixed with sand and toxic chemicals — under high pressure deep into the earth. Fracking breaks up ...
Changing the way wastewater injection wells are planned and operated can largely resolve most concerns about man-made earthquakes resulting from oil-field activity, a scientist told the U.S. Senate ...
