Fracking

This article talks about how fracking works, it was published by Chemistry Views, an academic publication cite. It gives a brief explanation of how the process works. The main focus on how fracking works is it creates fractures in the shale formation to release the gas underneath the surface of the earth. Water is shot down, and it is approximately seven to fifteen million liters of water used per well. The well is the other term for the drilling site. The water is usually mixed with quartz sand and three to twelve chemicals, which are kept secret by the companies. This article provides a lot of good information and will be useful for later projects.
