"How to Destroy the Earth's Fresh Water Supplies Without anyone Finding Out"

Welcome to my perspective on hydraulic fracking,
or, as I like to call it : "How to Destroy the Earth's Fresh Water Supplies Without Anyone Finding Out"



Welcome to this field lesson in hydraulic fracking (aka frac'ing or fracking): Today, we are observing Reprobate Energy of America, a gas company pursuing natural gas in the Rocky Mountains. The company has drilled the well bore, and has now brought in another subcontractor (Reprobate uses sub contractors all the time as a means of insulating themselves from accountability) - Schmucks-R-Us Frac Jobs. Let's watch how the process unfolds....







Let's digress a minute so you can get a sense of what all this means when it is compounded with multiple wells: The graphic immediately above shows Schmucks-R-Us fracking only one well. Now, imagine a pad (each with ten wells) occurring across the surface of the ground every hundred acres (graphic below on the left).

That's a bad enough disruption to the surface land, but imagine drilling down into the formation to such a great density that the bottom of all these wells are only ten acres apart (graphic below right). This is referred to as "ten acre down-hole density". And Reprobate is only on its second well on its most recent pad - plus they haven't even fracked those two yet.

I'll just let you imagine where all the faults, fractures and aquifers exist underground in these two graphics. Although, as you can see by the spider web of geologic destruction - it doesn't really matter. Pretty much anywhere they might be, ten acre down hole density is bound to intercept some of them.
