Natural gas is considered to be one of the most useful natural substances on earth. It is highly utilized in the creation of gases that is used for cooking. It was also recently discovered that this can be a good substitute for coal in the manufacturing of electricity. Since it emits lesser harmful chemicals for the process, many industries are considering this as their main substitute.
There are still more functions for these natural gases that are yet to be discovered and studied. Many industries believed that it is a good thing to find and drill out natural gases to be used and studied. This would be okay provided that it is easy to drill it out. The problem is the fact that it is hard to accomplish. You will have to use water for fracking to achieve it.
There have been previous methods being used for the extraction of both oil and gas. But it was not as effective as when you use fracking. This is the term used to describe the usage of water to create cracks or fracture in some solid formations. This is used for the easy extraction of the gases trapped in those formations.
This might seem to be the most efficient process ever used. However, it is also the one process that poses so many risks. And because of this, there are many petitions being raised to ensure that the usage of this process will be stopped. The first point is the huge wasting of fresh natural water since it is the main substance being used.
There is a chance that this would affect the water supply and the ecosystem. It will also influence the lives of the creatures living in that ecosystem which will also affect humans. Although the effects can still not be evident today, sooner or later, it will appear. Despite the debates being conducted regarding this method, there are still industries making use of it.
The liquid is used to make a certain substances. Chemicals and other substances are mixed with it to ensure that the process will guarantee an opening for the pipe to suck out the trapped gas. The chemicals being used are said to be very harmful as well. But there is a need for the industries to make use of this if they are to finish the process faster as well.
Another risky aspect regarding the entire process is the utilization of heavy machinery for drilling. The machines are not the ones posing the risks. It is the diesel being used to power them. When the diesel is burned, it can emit more harmful gases that can add to the greenhouse gases that are already accumulated in the atmosphere.
One of the other main concern for this process is the possibility of leaks. There are already reports indicating leaks and how harmful it can be. The gas being extracted is natural and highly poisonous as well. When it is leaked, there is a chance that it can mix with the water supply that is used by people for their daily chores and even for drinking.
Because of the controversies surrounding this method, there are industries trying to make their own alternative substances to be used in the process to at least eliminate the risks. It is still not fully developed. It poses so many threats to the environment and to man that it might not be the best process to use.
