sgtkate Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Fracking produces gas, not oil. Gah sorry. I shall amend otherwise more people will jump on that and ignore the actual points raised... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 As I've argued on here many times the proof is in the pudding, so the thing to do is set up a pioneer full sized well complex. Just one complex with up to 40 wells and all the infrastructure - the extra roads, pipelines, plant etc.. That might be the American way but is it the UK way? Is there space or need for a single complex with 40 wells? Same with UK oil fields. Its been a while since I've been out Lincolnshire way but there was just one "nodding donkey" because there's either no space or need for a huge field of hundreds.

Nagel Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Fracking produces gas, not oil. It can produce both actually, depending on what is contained in the fracked rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Arthur Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Indeed, though as a poor defence I was clumsily referring to the current proposals in the UK. I won't be arguing the finer points with a drilling engineer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megalithic Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 Well it seems that Stannington is now in the firing line with ineos looking to do seismic testing. If you'd like to keep up with news on this there's a new Facebook group "Stannington Against Fracking". https://www.facebook.com/groups/586891208186138/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Margarita Ma Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Ecotricity have pledged to ask for planning permission for a green gas facility close to every Fracking Site. Every city in Britain could have it's own green gas production by simply utilising the sewage produced and perhaps the domestic refuse as all biodegradable waste produces methane. There has to be a will to do this first of course and there are other ways of disposing of waste that produce usable heat, like the heat and power facility in Sheffield which was at the forefront of renewable technology in the non-to-distant-past. Sheffield also had lamps which burned off the sewer gas to prevent the regular explosions that occurred when the Victorians first put in the sewage systems. The bad spelling in the Facebook site can be corrected. The fracturing of the land to obtain the gas and the pollution that will at some point be inevitable, will not be correctable.
