One element that is deemed to be very necessary in many operations is water. It is the most basic need. Aside from that, it also aids some companies in extracting gases that are buried and trapped in rocks beneath the ground. Before, this was a very slow operation because extracting the gases and oils would be next to impossible. However, when fracking was discovered, everything changed and the speed of the operation improved.
Fracking is the method that has made the entire process possible. It is easy to find it and pump it out of the formation if there is already a crack on the surface. Fracking makes use of water to make fractures on the surface. Then then, the pump will suck out the gas and oil that is located inside. There are still efforts being made to make it better and to have a clean fracking technology.
Because coal is the major resource for creating electricity, this might be a good chance to have other options for it. The diversity of the options would make the supply more sustainable. And according to industrialists, this is better compared to coal because the carbon dioxide emission is far lesser.
But there are still debates because of the other risks and disadvantages that it poses. It is effective on some levels but not completely as the process still has to be developed. This is an alternative choice that is geared to lessening the harmful effects. But this does not mean that there are no negative effects at all. Most of the environmentalists find that it wastes too much fresh water because of the procedure. Aside from that, the liquid waste has high toxic content.
It still has carbon dioxide emissions which can only mean that somehow it still contributes to global warming. Aside from that, there are always possibilities for leaks. The gases being drilled are harmful when not contained well. These are just some of the points that company owners are seeking to improve in the coming years and operations.
Another fracking method is in the works. It is known to not make use of water but liquid that contains propane to crack rocks and bring out the gas trapped inside. The liquid is gelled the sand will be retained better. There will be lesser cracks which would also avoid using liquid more than necessary. It also helps in preventing the rock from cracking totally.
Grayish liquids that are used can also be recycled and utilized for the process. It is seen as one of the possible substitutes for the traditional liquids being used. However, it might take longer to extract the gases. The procedure is still a work in progress that is why it is still not complete. But there are already several industries who have made use of this procedure to minimize their water usage.
The chemical treatment would make liquids purer and cleaner. With this method, there is no need to tap into natural resources and just make use of the wasted and unclean once. The treatment process might be very expensive for some industries. But this will help them minimize on the cost of the natural resources they are going to use.
To power the machines, there is a need for fuel, specifically diesel. And when machines are on, they emit smoke that contains thousands of pollutants and gases that can affect the environment in a very negative way. And because of this, they are thinking of using natural gases as the best alternative.
