Article 1:
Titre: Colorado Flooding Imperils Oil and Gas Sites, Causes Spill
Date: Septembre 19, 2013
Journal : National Geographic Cet article parle de l’inondation à Colorado le 17 Septembre, 2013. Cette inondation était un grand désastre parce qu’il y avait un grand déversement de pétrole. Il y avait a peu près 5250 gallons de pétrole qui a infiltré la rivière South Platte dans la partie centre-nord de l’état. Le pétrole venait des réservoirs pétroliers Anadarko endommagés. Cette déversement est très mauvais pour l’environnement parce que si les animaux mangent cela, ils vont avoir des maladies et va mourir. Ceci va affecter l’écosystème de cet endroit parce que si une espèce meurt, la chaine alimentaire va être affectée. Alors, en conclusion, le déversement de pétrole va faire un grand impacte sur les écosystèmes de cet endroit. »
« In the wake of unprecedented massive flooding over thousands of square miles in Colorado, government officials and private companies are rushing to secure the region's heavy concentration of oil and natural gas wells, and prevent dangerous chemicals and toxic waste from contaminating the region's water. (See related quiz: "What You Don't Know About Oil Spills.")
Late Wednesday, reports emerged that at least 5,250 gallons of crude oil had seeped into the South Platte River in the north-central part of the state. The oil was leaking from damaged Anadarko Petroleum tanks. "Anadarko is responding and has absorbent booms in the water," said a statement from the state's Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Another report noted that Noble Energy was seeing a "limited amount of natural gas" leaking from one of its wells. (See related story: "As the Arctic Melts, a Race to Test Oil Spill Cleanup Technology.")
Inspectors have yet to reach many of the well sites, in part because many roads remain inaccessible, according to Todd Hartman, a spokesman for the Colorado DNR.
"You have operations that are entirely underwater," Hartman

    Few issues have recently gotten as much attention as the energy extraction activities involving a controversial procedure called "fracking." As reports of drinking water becoming tainted with fracking fluid flood the news, both oil and gas companies as well as environmental groups are presenting competing "facts" about the effects of drilling on ground water.…

    Whathappened? On December 12, people discovered that The Belle Forche Pipeline leaked around 176000 gallons of crude oil. On the website, boingboing.net, They claim that, “Yesterday, we learned that the Belle Fourche Pipeline had spilled at least 176,000 gallons of crude oil into Ash Coulee Creek, 150 miles from Cannon Ball, ND, where the water protectors made their stand. The electronic monitoring equipment that was supposed to detect this leak failed.” This proves that one of the most riskiest thing that could happen, happened. And that there could be a high chance that the Dakota Pipeline can do the…

    In the documentary Gasland Josh Fox talked about how people's properties were being invaded by fracking industries which is "hydraulic fracturing" which is drilling into the ground for natural gas as Josh Fox explained in this documentary. All of these people had been suffering with the water portion of it because with the oil drilling there water pipes were mixed in with the oil which there water faucets water came mixed with oil which meant that the water is not drinkable that’s why Fox went into a little adventure so he can personally see this and get evidence from all of these people with high oil underground. By visiting all of these people that were high in oil which most of the industries offered money for their land which was not enough…

    The Spindletop Story

    On January 10th, 1901, 10:30 AM, possibly the biggest and most influential events in all of oil history occurred in Beaumont, Texas. The Texas Oil Company, now known as Texaco, struck oil at a salt dome in southern Beaumont Texas. This was the biggest amount of oil the world had ever seen at the time. These wells on Spindletop would change the way we drilled, collected, used, and sold oil. Spindletop even raised concerns about conserving the oil. This gusher would change the way oil was drilled, collected, used and sold. The Spindletop oil field produced more than 20% of the United State’s oil at that time. Spindletop has an intriguing story that expands before and after the actual gusher, and that story involved many people…

    Spatding, Roy F., and Aaron J. Hirsh. "Risk-Managed Approach For Routing Petroleum Pipelines: Keystone XL Pipeline, Nebraska." Environmental Science & Technology 46.23 (2012): 12754-12758. In this article the author discusses the proposed pipelines route over sensitive land underlain by the Ogallala aquifer. His main concern is about rerouting the pipeline from the Sand Hills of Nebraska because of the threats of water contamination. Being from this area I understand why this is a major concern. The aquifer is crucial for Nebraska’s agriculture business and having family who are framers and ranchers from this area makes for a big deal of controversy. Spatding pays most of his attention on how the pipeline will disrupt Nebraska’s environment. All of his views are appropriate for my final essay because he is a credible source that his from the same area as me. I feel this will be one of my strongest persuasion techniques into having people reject the pipeline.…

    Fracking Foes

    • 9 Pages

    Imagine waking up in the middle of the night and wanting a glass of water, you go to the tap and instead of fresh clean water you get yellow, cloudy, oily water that smells of chemicals. Would you drink it? Those that live near natural gas hydro-fractured wells have had to ask themselves that question. Hydraulic fracturing or fracking, as it’s commonly called, is a process of extracting natural gas from deep within the earth’s surface by drilling. Once a well is drilled, millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals are injected, under high pressure, into a well. The pressure fractures the shale and forces open fissures that allow natural gas to flow more freely out of the well [ (Fox) ]. As with any kind of drilling, whether it is for natural gas or oil, there are risks of contamination. Are we willing to take the risk before we fully understand the consequences? Hydro Fracturing is polluting our water ways, country sides and the air we breathe; the government must take a stand, pass legislation to make sure our environment is protected.…

    Citizens of Kansas and Missouri need safe and plentiful water for public use and for farm and ranch performance. On average, a single fracturing takes 1-8 million gallons of water to complete each fracturing job. The water brought to the ejecting site in is mixed with Approximately 40,000 gallons and up to 600 different toxic chemicals including known carcinogens, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), hydrochloric acid, carbon sulfide, petroleum distillates, mercury, and other toxic metals, are used within each fracking. This adds up to 72 trillion gallons of water and 360 billion gallons of chemicals. There have been over 1,000 documented complaints of water contamination neighboring areas of gas drilling, as well as occurrences of respiratory, and neurological damage as a result of consumed water. The mixture reaches the end of the well where the high pressure causes the nearby shale rock to crack, creating fissures where natural gas flows into the well. During this hydraulic fracturing process, methane gas and toxic chemicals leach out from the system and and contaminate nearby groundwater. The drinking water in Kansas and Missouri is now contaminated preventing the citizens from drinking the local water. One other major problem that has caused nearby irritation is the earthquakes that are caused.…

    Many people in Texas regard water as oil because of its long and hot drought seasons that come most of summer and fall. Now more than ever has Texas grown so rapidly. Since the 70s Texas has been at a steady incline in both population growth and resource usage. With the constant growth and usage of open water sites across the lone star state, many cities are trying to grasp rights to the water below them. One city in particular has almost exclusively relied on ground water. Texas and its people, may be at risk due to Texas policies, corporate control, and overall resource management.…

    Bp Oil Spill

    “Thank God men cannot fly and lay waste to sky, as well as the earth,” said Henry David Thoreau on environmental damage. The BP, or British Petroleum, Gulf oil spill has been widely referred to as the biggest environmental disaster that the United States has ever faced, with over four million gallons of oil pouring into the waters off the Mexican Gulf Coast. The BP oil spill occurred in April of 2010. It was, and still is, the biggest oil spill in all of U.S. history. The massive spill wreaked havoc on Gulf Coast inhabitants, including animals, plants, and humans, in late April. Most of the sea life in the Gulf Coast waters perished, drowning in the oil that has monopolized the waters. The BP oil spill has been rated one of the biggest environmental disasters of this century. To examine what contributed to this title, and to stop another disaster like this from happening again, the public must look at how it happened and why, the economic and environmental impact, and the cost of cleaning it up.…

    Every year the government allocates more water from the Colorado River that is unrelated to human survival. According to an article in the San Diego Union Tribune “Oil and natural-gas drilling in Colorado requires so much water that if its annual demand were satisfied all at once, it would be the equivalent of shutting off most of Southern California's water for five days.” (Hasemyer, 2008). During his term, President Bush authorized more drilling in Colorado than at any time since 1984. With these types of policies taking hold of the river one must ask the question, what is more important energy or life?…

    On April 20th, 2010, an oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico. As a result, approximately 4.9 billion barrels of oil poured into the gulf over the course of 87 days. This tragedy resulted in lives lost, both human and animal alike, and really brought the issue of off-shore oil drilling to attention. While some may believe that offshore oil drilling may seem like a harmless source of revenue for the United States, it is imperative that citizens realize that drilling does more harm than good. America needs to consider the negative effects of offshore oil drilling on the environment, the economy, and the future.…
