Does fracking cause cancer and infertility? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
First paragraph: It can be hard to know what to believe when it comes to fracking safety. Campaigners against the controversial oil and gas drilling technique say it can contaminate water supplies, pollute local air and cause dangerous earthquakes.

Hardening and Hollowing Out Private Property: Rentiership, Dispossession, and Planetary Extraction in the Marcellus Shale

open access: yesAntipode, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Southwestern Pennsylvania (SWPA) has long been an energy extractive periphery, continuously remade through cycles of dispossession and accumulation. Here we examine the changing dynamics of private property in these cycles and its central role in the latest phase of extraction—unconventional oil and gas development (UOGD).

Study on catastrophe mechanism of hydraulic fracturing fracks initiation in radial boreholes

open access: yesGeomechanics and Geophysics for Geo-Energy and Geo-Resources, 2020
Radial drilling hydraulic fracturing has become a new stimulation method. The hydraulic fracturing effect of radial drilling on site is not ideal, and the stimulation effect of some wells is not obvious. The hydraulic fracturing effect of radial drilling is closely related to the crack initiation position after radial drilling fracturing.
