The concept of hydraulic fracture
stimulation, otherwise known as fracking, is something that the vast majority
of people will have likely heard of. However, there's also a good chance that
they won't fully understand what fracking is, how it works or the benefits that
it can provide. Thanks to a great deal of misinformation spread around,
particularly online, it's often all too easy for people to end up forming
opinions of fracking that simply aren't supported by the evidence. However, the
reality of fracking as both as a process and a necessary part of the modern
world is something that more and more people should endeavour to be more
informed about.
Fracking is the process by which
oil or gas is extracted by injecting liquid at high pressure into subterranean
rocks, boreholes, etc. This means that certain areas, such as gas producers in NT, will
be far more popular as locations for fracking.
One of the highest priorities for
many companies involved in fracking is to work closely with rightful
Traditional Owners of any land to ensure that they always have their support.
The support of the right Native Titleholder is an essential part of the
process.
Despite much of the
misinformation spread around, most companies are incredibly rigorous in their
attempts to use the best practices at all times. This includes protecting water
and land and ensuring that the minimum amount of waste is produced during the
process, thereby making it as sustainable as possible and reducing emissions as
much as possible.
