US Frack Sand Suppliers Become Latest Casualties In Shale
2019-11-12 By Liz Hampton Reuters —The companies that provide sand for hydraulic fracturing operations are the latest casualties of shale industry cutbacks as low oil prices and demands for higher investor returns stunt drilling activity. Two years ago, U.S. sand companies were racing to open West Texas mines to capitalize on a boom in oil and gas drilling, with
Surf's Up for Fracking Sand Suppliers Investing Daily
2016-8-11 Surf’s Up for Fracking Sand Suppliers. The companies supplying sand for hydraulic fracturing (aka “fracking”) were among the hardest hit by the shale oil bust that began in mid-2014. Fracking involves pumping water, chemicals and (typically) sand under high pressure into an oil or gas well in order to break open channels (fractures
Hydraulic Fracturing USGS
2021-9-25 Hydraulic fracturing, commonly known as fracking, is the process of injecting water, sand, and/or chemicals into a well to break up underground bedrock to free up oil or gas reserves. The USGS monitors the environmental impact of this practice across the country, from potential earthquakes to degraded groundwater quality.
Frack Sand Providers Struggling to Stay Afloat: This is Why
2019-12-11 Used as a proppant, sand is a key material (along with water and chemicals) that is injected to open up cracks (or fractures) in underground hydrocarbon-bearing rock formations (shale), allowing
Worker Exposure to Silica during Hydraulic Fracturing
2020-9-29 volumes of water and sand into a well at high pressure to fracture shale and other tight formations, allowing oil and gas to flow into the well. NIOSH’s recent field studies show that workers may be exposed to dust with high levels of respirable
Pullback in U.S. fracking sand use pressures producers
2017-8-15 4 Min Read. (Reuters) U.S. shale oil companies are pulling back on the amount of sand they use to hydraulically fracture new wells, responding to
Shale Gas and Hydraulic Fracturing
2018-12-27 existing global shale hydrocarbon reserves produce opposing views on whether the world is on the verge of a “shale gas revolution” and, if it is, how long it could last. Some argue that shale gas may constitute a backbone of energy supply for specific countries for decades to come, while others say the peak may have passed already.
Modeling of Hydraulic Fracture Height Containment in
2003-3-23 The results of hydraulic fracture modeling in a hydrocarbon reservoir consisting of laminated sand and shale sequences are presented. Work previously published by other authors addresses hydraulic fracture growth characteristics in layered intervals, but little published information is available for growth in thin-bedded reservoirs.
