hydraulic fracturing : A well stimulation process used to maximize the extraction of underground resources including oil, natural gas, geothermal energy, and even water.
shale : Fine-grained sedimentary rocks that can be rich resources of petroleum and natural gas.
Natural Gas : A clean and highly efficient fossil fuel composed mainly of methane.
Barnett Shale : A geological formation containing the largest producible reserves of any onshore natural gas field in the United States. Located in North Texas.
Groundwater : A recent EPA study determined that hydraulic fracturing does not contaminate this source of water.
HB 40 : This bill was signed by Governor Abbott in Texas in 2015 that clarifies how oil and natural gas development – including fracking – is regulated in Texas.
fracktivist : A liberal activist who refuses to believe that fracking is a safe and reliable source of energy production.
horizontal drilling : A drilling process in which the well is turned horizontally at depth.
EPA : Federal government agency who recently released a study that determined hydraulic fracturing does not contaminate drinking water.
Fluid : Over 99% of this is composed of water and sand. This is used to extract oil & gas underground.
Earthquakes : Southern Methodist University (SMU) researchers have said numerous times that fracking is not the cause of these in North Texas.
casing : A pipe placed in an oil or gas well to prevent the wall of the hole from caving in, to prevent movement of fluids from one geologic formation to another and provide a means of maintaining control of formation fluids and pressure as the well is drilled.
Permeability : The quantification of how easily fluids, such as oil, gas, and water, flow through the pore spaces in a geologic formation and into a well.
Well : The hole made by the drilling bit, which can be open, cased, or both.
Fracking : A slang word for hydraulic fracturing.
Denton : This Texas town recently placed a ban on hydraulic fracturing, only to find out that it would cost the taxpayers over $1,000,000.
Gasland : This 2011 HBO documentary has been widely criticized for containing wild inaccuracies about the truths of hydraulic fracturing, including the myth that fracking can light your tap water on fire.
Tarrant : The largest natural gas producing county in the state of Texas.
Cuomo : This New York Governor recently banned fracking after the EPA determined that fracking is safe.
Texas : This state would be the third largest producer of natural gas in the world, and would also be the eighth largest producer of crude oil in the world if compared on a global scale.
