Out of 242‚714 sq.kms area under exploration in Pakistan‚ PPL holds thesecond largest share‚ more than 22% in joint venture with partners. PPL is aggressive in exploration but at thesame time conservative in selecting drilling sites.It has discovered eight gas and three oil fields. PPL has working interest in 24 exploration blocks

The Fracking Controversy A controversial new method of extracting natural gas from the earth has become a danger for Americans. This method is called Hydraulic Fracturing‚ or Fracking. This drilling has made it possible to retrieve methane gas trapped in the shale rock that lays thousands of feet below the ground. For some‚ fracking can be seen as a good thing for our country. Fracking is boosting the nation’s economy‚ creating jobs and energy export opportunities‚ and strengthening the energy

utilized to extract natural gases from the earth. This essay will discuss the process‚ dangers and loopholes in regulation of this industry.We must understand how hydraulic fracking works. Hydraulic fracking works by extracting natural gas in deep natural gas wells. Once a well is drilled‚ millions of gallons of water‚ sand‚ and proprietary chemicals are injected‚ under high pressure into the well. The pressure acts as mini earthquakes to fracture the ground allowing the gas to flow more freely.

Explosion in the supply of natural gas gave the nation a breather‚ sharing burden of electricity and oil‚ only to make future insecure as gas reserves deplete at fast rate. Fire-fighting on the part

Chapter 8 Renewable Energy Part 1 Where do we get energy from ? PLANETARY ENERGY RESOURCES Non-Renewable Sources • Fossil-fuel sources of energy: • Coal • Gas • Oil • During earlier periods of the Earth’s history‚ fossilization of biological material created the deposits of coal‚ oil and gas‚ of which at least 1023 Joule is presently believed to be recoverable in a form suitable for fuel uses (Sorensen‚ 2011). • Nuclear energy may be released in large quantities from nuclear reactions (Sorensen

Dear editor of the local paper‚ As the mayor of the town‚ I find fracking to be a beneficial factor to us. Even though fracking isn’t a completely safe way to obtain natural gas‚ I believe the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Because our town is small‚ it is important to come up with ways to make our community expand and develop. By fracking‚ we’ll be able to create more jobs and increase the employment rates. Research had shown that in Watford City in Western North Dakota the employment

The USGS found that the region has an estimated 90 billion barrels of undiscovered‚ technically recoverable oil‚ 1‚670 trillion cubic feet of technically recoverable natural gas‚ and 44 billion barrels of technically recoverable natural gas liquids. And with the conflicts arising with the Arab states‚ the importance of the natural resources here will grow in importance economically and scientifically. As of now‚ the Russian Arctic is of a large economic significance to the Russian Federation‚ as

summed up in five steps: the first step is to drill a hole‚ the second step is to pump the hole with a pressurized mixture of water‚ sand‚ and chemicals‚ the third step is to take out the mixture out of the hole‚ the fourth step is to reel in the natural gas that comes out of the hole‚ the final step is to insert the water mixture back into the hole and seal it back up (Huffman).
