IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF SILICA SAND AS A PROPPANT FOR HYDRAULIC FRACKING INDUSTRY PURPOSES

Rudarsko-geološko-naftni Zbornik
A technological silica sand sample that belongs to “Egypt’s Future Quarries”, south west Cairo, was investigated as a proppant for the hydraulic fracking industry. The sample showed encouraging physical and mechanical characteristics, yet it was still in

Hydraulic “Fracking”: Are surface water impacts an ecological concern? [PDF]

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2014
Abstract   Use of high-volume hydraulic fracturing (HVHF) in unconventional reservoirs to recover previously inaccessible oil and natural gas is rapidly expanding in North America and elsewhere. Although hydraulic fracturing has been practiced for decades, the advent of more technologically advanced ...

Framing ‘fracking’: Exploring public perceptions of hydraulic fracturing in the United Kingdom [PDF]

Public Understanding of Science, 2016
The prospect of fracking in the United Kingdom has been accompanied by significant public unease. We outline how the policy debate is being framed by UK institutional actors, finding evidence of a dominant discourse in which the policy approach is defined through a deficit model of public understanding of science and in which a technical approach to ...

Optimization of Carbon Dioxide Foam Fracturing Technology for Shale Gas Reservoir

Geofluids, 2023
Major shale gas exploration and development fields are located in the Sichuan basin. It requires huge water sources for shale gas fracking, but the well sites are mostly in the hills, which limits the industrialization of shale gas development.
