China Hopeful of Joining the Shale–Gas Revolution
Intro
Over the past decade the U.S. has lead a shale development revolution. Through vast discoveries of this unconventional gas in the U.S., and continued learning and perfecting of hydraulic fracturing, the U.S. has been able to access unprecedented reserves which now make up 50% of domestic output, according to a paper published by the CSIS. ...
Water Conservation, Contamination, and Global Fracking
Recently, I’ve witnessed the local impact that water can have on people and its potential implications for the oil and gas industry in Alberta (which I explored last week in Water Conservation, Contamination, and Alberta’s Flooding). In this blog, part 2 of 2, I’ll take a look at the “fracking” (hydraulic fracturing) industry and ...
North America and the Emerging Natural Gas-Fueled Transportation Industry
There’s no doubt about it – the shale gas boom of recent years is creating a paradigm shift in the North American energy industry. Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has uncovered a wealth of natural gas that has the industry in a tizzy over the potential development of an enormous new market: the natural gas transportation ...
