Indeed, a shortage of accessible natural gas threatens to cause more manufacturing losses in the region, where the state has banned shale gas production via high - pressure hydraulic hydrofracturing.

Several environmental organizations, boosted by the popular movie «Gasland,» have claimed that using hydrofracturing can endanger public water supplies, in part because of potentially toxic chemicals that are sometimes used to help extract the gas.

If so, the interaction between hydrofracturing and ice - cliff collapse could drive global sea level much higher than projected in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)'s 2013 assessment report and in a 2014 study led by Kopp.

The researchers conclude that well production could be greatly improved if the hydrofractures connected better to natural fractures in the surrounding rock.

The time at which gas pressure drops below its initial value everywhere in the rock between hydrofractures is called its interference time.

The study's well sample is made up of about half of the 15,000 existing wells in the Barnett Shale, the geological formation outside Fort Worth that offers the longest production history for hydrofractured horizontal wells in the world.

For example, some exciting work being done by David Pollard and Rob DeConto suggests that processes such as ice - cliff collapse and ice - shelf hydrofracturing may play important roles in future ice sheet behavior that have not been well incorporated into most ice sheet models.

The more dynamic picture in the new simulations suggests that the rate of change in the first half of this century — which does not involve a significant contribution from processes like marine ice - cliff instability, or hydrofracturing — is essentially uncorrelated with the rate of change later in the century.

Releasing a huge iceberg, by itself, is a normal process, unrelated to warming, but increased calving may occur in the future if the ice shelf continues to thin, which would make it susceptible to plate bending and hydrofracture processes21.

My husband and I moved here because hydrofracturing pushed us off the family farm in TX 1.5 yrs ago.

What if someone decided to include processes such as hydrofracturing and ice cliff failure in these objective models?

Diverting more gas from the domestic energy market would exert even more upward pressure on fuel gas prices, and with gas prices on the rise you're going to start setting more pushback from consumers and less support for fracking (short for hydrofracturing), the shale drilling method that has been causing so many problems in local communities.

The more dynamic picture in the new simulations suggests that the rate of change in the first half of this century — which does not involve a significant contribution from processes like marine ice - cliff instability, or hydrofracturing — is essentially uncorrelated with the rate of change later in the century.

Meanwhile, Exxon Mobil was investing its massive $ 45 billion in earnings in maximizing extraction and processing of oil and gas, including the controversial use of hydrofracturing (fracking) to extract fuel from tar sands and the expansion of offshore oil drilling.

Natural gas hydrofracturing took a public relations hit this month, when a British energy company admitted that its fracking operation in England was the direct cause of several small earthquakes earlier this year.
