Book Release of the week : The Frackers by Gregory Zuckerman

Gregory Zuckerman is a Special Writer at The Wall Street Journal. He writes about hedge funds, big financial trades and other investing topics, and regularly pens the widely read "Heard on the Street" column; here comes another fine read.

 Everyone knew it was wild to try to extract oil and natural gas buried in shale rock deep below the ground. Everyone, that is, except a few reckless wildcatters; who risked their careers to prove the world wrong.  

In 2006  Major oil companies had just about given up on new discoveries on U.S. soil, and a new energy crisis seemed likely. But a handful of men believed everything was about to change.  Far from the limelight, Aubrey McClendon, Harold Hamm, Mark Papa, and other wildcatters were determined to tap massive deposits of oil and gas that Exxon, Chevron, and other giants had dismissed as a waste of time. By experimenting with hydraulic fracturing(fracking) through extremely dense shale they  started a revolution. In just a few years, they solved America’s dependence on imported energy.

It stretches from the barren fields of North Dakota and the rolling hills of northeastern Pennsylvania to cluttered pickup trucks in Texas and tense Wall Street boardrooms.

Activists argue that the same methods that are creating so much new energy are also harming our water supply and threatening environmental chaos. The Frackers tells the story of the angry opposition unleashed by this revolution and explores just how dangerous fracking really is.

Due to the giant transformation both economically and environmentally,frackers are now stretching beyond the bounds to influence politics, media and sports ; all done with a little manipulation by their hard earned money. A sensational tale of our time.

Fracking:

Hydraulic fracturing is the fracturing of rock by a pressurized liquid. Some hydraulic fractures form naturally certain veins or dikes are examples. Induced hydraulic fracturing or hydrofracturing, commonly known as fracking, is a technique in which typically water is mixed with sand and chemicals, and the mixture is injected at high pressure into a wellbore to create small fractures (typically less than 1mm), along which fluids such as gas, petroleum, uranium-bearing solution,and brine water may migrate to the well. Hydraulic pressure is removed from the well, then small grains of proppant (sand or aluminium oxide) hold these fractures open once the rock achieves equilibrium. The technique is very common in wells for shale gas, tight gas,f tight oil, and coal seam gasand hard rock wells

The Frackers - Broza (Dalcan Remix)

I should really listen to original pieces first before I jump in to a remix.
