Details of Fracking (Hydraulic Fracturing)

Truth no one wants to hear.

Wow this needs more exposure! Well done Ezra!!! Biggest point here is the recycling of Frack Water, second is the effort towards Safety and protection of the environment.

It was a bit ra-ra, but generally a great presentation. The last sentence was a bit of asshattery.

The big issue is, ALL OIL CASINGS WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL. Why? The earth moves over time, and when it moves even just a bit. It is going to break the cement and crack the Steel casings. When this happens, all hell will break loose in the clean water aquifer, destroying all of the purity in the water for human consumption. It might take 50years or 200years but this will happen and cause unseen amounts of damage to so many places all over America. There could be a solution. Do they fill the hole with cement when finished??

So where does the water come from and where does the ruined water go?

"steel" LMFAO....you mean "Iron" buddy..

Sick FraCK you are...ra = U, all of YOU. May you all be and your children and children's atrocities all drink this water about 70 barrels a day. Demons

Why are the oil companies taking so much fresh water permanently out of the system?? Can they not use salt water, sea water?? This is bad!!

Micheal hayne. Produced water can be re used. If it is too contaminated to be treated it gets taken to a SWD and disposed of thousands of feet below the water table not into ponds and lakes.

Why use dangerous chemicals guys use plain water and sand instead because the hydraulics of hydraulic pressure is what cracks the rock .

what a bunch of lies.

I admire the engineers that perfect this process and allow US to win the war of energy independence as declared by President Carter years ago.

100,000 barrels lol someone take that white hat from him

With all the money they make in trillions of dollars. They could use a fraction of that to set up a waste treatment plant, and render the used chemical water safe again, instead of just pumping it into the ground and leaving it to contaminate any existing water tables. They are only interested how much profits they make. A trillion dollars is not enough, even if the locals have to drink the contaminated water. Kill a couple of thousand locals, is except able to make big profits.

Ok. So, it can be a lot like the movie 'The Core'. Soooo, lets frak under Russia, North Korea, and China. Maybe more later. It will be remembered as a message of  'Frak You Commies'. Ok....Got it! (getting a migraine headache).

This is what I'm doing for living. Safety is the first priority and in God's will we all the oil workers will be safe to support our family.

why does this video sound so enthusiastic about destroying our environment and our drinking water??? for frack sakes!!

They had the green hat vacuuming the water, lol.

Just to show, what little information is given is what little information is believed as truth. In this reporting segment, there is no mention of the chemical mixture or the type of chemicals being used in the mix ( fracking fluid) to frack the shale. The issue is there along with the geology of the land, ie faults, rifts, etc. Also, what about the “reinjection” process, the very last process, where they dump that “recycled” chemical water back into the shale closing the well, is another point of concern. Blame the industry lobbyists, the good ole boys and your congressional body for allowing no transparency regulations in this industry. By law they don’t have to tell what chemicals they’re using the frack the shale.

Everyone the reporter covered is completely invested, PR trained, and lets consider this is there bread winning careers so they’re going to show you the elements of “safety regulations,” ie containment tarps, etc. People don’t be blinded by half-truths. When there is money involved there is always room for corruption. Money is one hella-of-drug!

And reporter do your homework. That’s the reason why fuk-stick ump is calling you guys “fake news” .... complacency is another hella-of-drug which is rampant in texas the dump star state.

Nice. BP should watch this

I might be getting a fracking job any legit tips

They say the wells last for decades but I fear investors know better.

Carry on, America. The founders are blessing you wherever they might be.

Marcellus Wellas.

I wonder how many hours of orientations he had to sit through just to do this news piece

I have to give it to this reporter he asked every question I had in my head and more and I haul sand to these jobs everyday and had zero clue what’s going on

Question: I have fracked wells in the Eagle Ford tight shale zone in Karnes County, Texas. Approximately how large and how long are the "cracks" perpendicular to the lateral lines? I've heard around 1000+ feet, typically. The wells are about 10,500 feet deep. Any info you could provide......

Just watch quick capsule shot about ADNOC in my channel, oil and gas enthusiasts are welcome

Their destroying their beautiful state

It's really going to Boom after all the fracking.🕳💣💥

AAAHHH yes just love to see how we are killing our ability to live on this planet. let's just keep poisoning everything so we will finally go extinct, and the planet can heal itself from the human virus

Thank you for the report!

The energy involved in franking is unbelievable....ie diesel, oil,etc...very unnatural process to the land..

*frac

Fracking is the cause of the homeless crises because the micro surface quakes are destroying the foundations of buildings in a much bigger area as currently thought and admitted by the operators. The vibration also erode shore lines and cause cracks on highways!!!

It sounds good in theory but sorry.... all the fracking water is poison accidents happen, employees become lazy and just dump water wherever the wastewater seeps into groundwater Obama was wrong 60 years no poisoned groundwater huh let him come live where I do. Pioneer is poisoning my entire community! They are murderers!!! No account greedy liars!

Sounds great old horizontal drilling.... how about them earthquakes.... and royalty checks? What joke. Pennies. Shame on you

Question Ezra.... are you even remotely interested in presenting both sides of this issue? Or are you only interested in the candy coated rainbows and bubbles version? This company may take extra precautions. I mean it all looks good and all but how about coming to Colorado and touring real life wells and unsafe fracking wastewater disposal backed up with a ton of proof?! Or does PIONEER scare you too?!

How much fracking fracking going on now in the biden America?..what none of you obiden lovers have much to say now that his policies have effectively destroyed the fracking industry just as Trump predicted.America was energy independent for the first time ever and was well on our way to becoming energy DOMINANT.way to go union boys

Best discription so far

Great and articulate explanations by the people being interviewed. Very informative program.

Thank God for American ingenuity!

Best video I’ve seen and I’m in my 4th year Fracking

If you spell it with a "K" you have nothing to offer.

It's good to see a non-hysterical overview of the process. Thanks!
