Vryheid in Waarheid … Water is Lewe
According to the Texas Railroad Commission, more than 7,000 oil fields now dot the Permian Basin, and recent increased use of enhanced-recovery practices (like like hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking) has resulted in “a substantial impact on U.S. oil production.” In the meantime, a team of researchers from Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas, Texas, has made… Continue reading Texas – Oil – fracking – Permian Basin
▲ Map of Earthquakes 1620–2008 contained in the South African National Seismological Database (SANSD). Known clusters relating to natural and mining-induced seismicity are highlighted. The seismic recording stations are represented by triangles. * ... The event occurred on 29 September, 1969 in the Ceres-Tulbagh region of the Western Cape Province about 100 km northeast… Continue reading Earthquakes 1620-2008 – SANSD
New research links a rise in seismic activity in West Texas with increased oil and gas development over the past 20 years and, in particular, the past decade. The study, published 4 November and conducted by the University of Texas (UT) as well as several other universities, leverages old, unmined data to track seismic activity… Continue reading Fracking and Earthquakes – West Texas
Groot hidroliese masjinerie word gebruik om diep in die aarde te boor voordat 'n hoëdruk watermengsel op die rots gerig word om die gas binne te laat. Water, sand en chemikalieë word teen hoë druk in die rots ingespuit, waardeur die gas na die kop van die put kan vloei. Hidrouliese breuk is 'n wel bevorderingstegniek… Continue reading Hidroliese breking – Fracking
