Drilling, Fracking Efficiency Fuels Oil and Gas Boom
2014-03-24 05:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Central Climate: Technological advances in drilling efficiency are one of the reasons shale oil and natural gas production continues to skyrocket in six of America's biggest oil and natural gas fields, according to a new U.S. Energy Information Administration report. Production of crude oil and natural gas through the use of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is considered to have a significant effect on climate change because of methane leaks in the natural gas distribution system that haven't been quantified...

Hague: Fracking can 'weaken Russia's grip over Europe'

ITV: Pushing ahead with controversial 'fracking' schemes could help reduce Russia's leverage over Europe, William Hague has suggested. The Foreign Secretary urged a broader energy mix as he insisted nations should not "run scared" of Moscow's "bullying behaviour" in Ukraine. The intervention - in an article for the Sunday Telegraph - came amid continuing tensions in Crimea, where pro-Russian forces have been storming Ukrainian military sites.

Legislative battles show strong Colorado division over fracking

Gazette: Rep. Joann Ginal, D-Fort Collins, asked lawmakers Thursday to fund a study on the health impacts of the onslaught of drilling and hydrolic fracturing close to front-range communities. "Many Colorado families that live near oil and gas sites are concerned, they're very concerned," Ginal said. "They want to be heard and I'm listening." Ginal said scientific data about potential health effects prompted five communities to vote to either ban or delay further oil and gas exploration in their jurisdictions....

Fracking industry launches charm offensive
2014-03-20 19:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Independent: The Government and fracking companies have launched a joint charm offensive in a bid to win a social licence to operate from a general public that is widely opposed to shale gas development. Duarte Figueira, who is heading up the Governments drive into the fledgling industry, told a shale gas conference that much of the preparatory work for widespread production is well underway but said the public remained the last piece of the puzzle. Its absolutely natural that people are nervousTheyve...

Was the Los Angeles Earthquake Caused by Fracking?
2014-03-18 10:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
MSN: Was the Los Angeles Earthquake Caused by Fracking? State seismologists don't think that the injection well was close enough to make a difference. Environmental groups aren't so sure. The epicenter of today's L.A. quake was 8 miles from oil waste injection wells. Credit: Kyle Ferrar/FracTracker Alliance Was the 4.4-magnitude earthquake that rattled Los Angeles Monday morning caused by fracking methods? It's hard to say, but what's clear from the above map, made by Kyle Ferrar of the FracTracker...
