Fracks From an Expert Fracker
Today, A man named Mr. Pollart came in and visited our class. He is the vice president of a company that cleans the fracked water and takes care of the fluids and sludge that comes out of a frack site. Mr. Pollart is on board with fracking so we heard his side of opinion of fracking. It definitely changed our point of view on fracking.
Marcellus shale, was a huge part of his presendation and a huge part of fracking. Shale is a dark rock form and is found about 5000 feet underground. Here in Pennsylvania there are about 363 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. This is one of the reason why we were the first people to have an oil well. The first oil well in Pennsylvania was in Titusville and was founded about 150 years ago. However new technologies are abounding, horizontal drilling was invented about 10 years ago. Horizontal drilling is when you drill down and then turn, this is the process used in fracking. Vertical drilling is when you drill straight down but frackers have found that when fracking, this causes much more destruction then horizontal drilling.
A study shows that there has been no evidence that fracking is the cause of water pollutuion.
