FRACKING BLUES, second note What to do? An approach from Citizen Science

[1] From: FORBES,  Feb 20, 2018. Fracking Has Its Costs And Benefits-The Trick Is Balancing Them. Foto iStock Recapitulating: What is the Fracking?  In an earlier blog, I discover that the fracking idea predates the oil industry, and there are some data from the early gaslighting of London. I also found that the techniques of rock fracturing were used by Soviet engineers in central Asia 90 years ago to increase water production, and for American engineers 70 years ago for secondary oil extraction of declining oil wells. I also found that the directional drilling techniques were perfected 40 years ago to horizontally access complex strata, and 20 years ago was common the use of computers and complex information systems for business applications.  Moreover, all these elements have had relatively adequate environmental management[2]. Other things that affect the technique of hydrofracture and that I do not cover in the present blog are the existence of an ap...

From: FORBES,  Feb 20, 2018. Fracking Has Its Costs And Benefits-The Trick Is Balancing Them. Foto iStock Recapitulando qué es el Fracking En un escrito anterior analic é el fracking para descubrir que la idea es anterior a la industria del petr ó leo y data desde la é poca del gas de alumbrado de Londres. Tambi é n encontr é que las t é cnicas de fracturaci ó n de la roca se usan desde hace noventa a ñ os con la b ú squeda de aguas por los ingenieros sovi é ticos en los desiertos del centro de Asia y desde hace setenta por los ingenieros americanos para la explotaci ó n secundaria de pozos petroleros. Tambi é n encontr é que las t é cnicas de perforaci ó n dirigida se perfeccionaron hace cuarenta a ñ os para acceder horizontalmente a los estratos de dif í cil extracci ó n; y que el uso de computadores y los sistemas de informaci ó n para el manejo de las t é cnicas y los instrumentos financieros para el manejo de los costos se perfeccionaron hace veinte a ñ os.
