United Kingdom: Locals can now veto windfarms: so what about fracking?
2013-06-06 12:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

What they fail to say is it only applies to the minority of people who live in Conservative constituencies where the Tories feel compelled to out-loony the climate change deniers of UKIP. The majority of the British public who support renewable energy are left powerless.

Instead, the company is trucking water--nearly 1 million gallons of it in just one week--from the City of Kalkaskas water system to meet its needs. This one fracking operation today is using more...

Engineering Plastics Perform Well in Fracking Operations Used in Oil and Gas Exploration
2013-06-04 06:00:00| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
Ensinger Engineering Plastics offer characteristics essential for successful fracking operations. During the fracking process, it is necessary to isolate sections of the well. This is accomplished by using specialized equipment known as packers and frac sleeves. Once this equipment has been sent to the proper depth, fracturing begins by sending precisely sized frac balls down the well. Each ball is designed to fit securely into a seal of the same size in the frac sleeve. The frac balls, ...This story is related to the following:Mining, Oil Drilling & RefiningSearch for suppliers of: Oil & Gas Well Supplies
