Distance: A critical aspect for environmental impact assessment of hydraulic fracking
The Extractive Industries and Society, 2014Abstract Public concerns about hydraulic fracking are growing and scientists continue to analyze and evaluate its associated environmental impacts. However, a rigorous spatial analysis of environmental impacts is necessary to provide a perspective on risk based on proximity to fracking wells.

International Journal of Mental Health and Addiction, 2017
The process of natural gas extraction known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a controversial energy acquisition technique often viewed with disdain by the public, due to its potential for environmental harm. However, the mental health and psychological well-being of fracking communities, including potential benefits and detriments, are often ...

Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2017
This study assesses the overall technical, economic, environmental, and social costs and benefits of the hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) of natural gas. Drawn from a review of more than 100 studies looking at shale gas in the past 10 years, most of them peer-reviewed, this article begins by briefly explaining the process of hydrofracking and ...

Energy Research & Social Science, 2016
Abstract Although proponents praise natural gas as a clean and abundant energy source, the varying impacts and uncertainties surrounding the process of extracting natural gas from unconventional sources, known as horizontal high-volume hydraulic fracturing (HVHF) or “fracking,” have raised important concerns.

SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 2019
Abstract Objectives/Scope: The use of dissolvable metal technologies for use in downhole tools for the hydraulic fracking industry has expanded rapidly over the last few years. The dissolution rate of these alloys is known to be sensitive to the chemistry of the fracking fluids used.

Quantifying source contributions of volatile organic compounds under hydraulic fracking moratorium
Science of The Total Environment, 2020Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are precursors for ozone (O3) and secondary particulate matter, which contribute to asthma and cardiovascular diseases. With the technology development of hydraulic fracking, the United States experienced a shale gas boom in the last decade while the public raised concerns about the potential health impacts of co ...

Fracking or Hydraulic Fracturing: How Media Shapes Public Perception and Regulatory Process
SPE Western Regional Meeting, 2015Abstract Bans or moratoria on hydraulic fracturing are in place or being considered worldwide. In large part, these actions stem from relatively data-free media presentations of risks associated with hydraulic fractions. Our objective is to analyze the influence of media and public perceptions in shaping policy related to hydraulic ...

Hydraulic fracturing and social media: getting the ?fracking? message across
2016Hydraulic fracturing, or ?fracking,? has gained prominence in past decades with an intense public relations battle between supporters and opponents. While one group highlights benefits, the other focuses on exposing concerns, but both attempt to drive discussion, shape public opinion and influence national policy. ?
