Chesapeake Energy hydraulic fracturing method

In order to maximize the production potential for a natural gas well, the shale formation must be hydraulically fractured. This video outlines and demonstrates the hydraulic fracturing process in Chesapeake Energy natural gas operations. For more information on fracking, visit www.hydraulicfracturing.com.

Well, it's a good thing Exxon has stopped. Have you watched the documentary Gasland? Is it any coincidence that people have been finding that their groundwater was contaminated right after these oil industries are done drilling? Do you know how many LETHAL chemicals are pumped down there? There's a reason they don't do it in Germany. It's dangerous.

You talk about the price of gas. Is gas really so important that you're cheating your people and permanently ruining land to get it? No.

Well considering fracuring a natural gas well consists of water and sand, there is no damage done to the land, in oil fracuring yes chemicals are used,and if you dont like what is being done to the land, then stop driving your car, stop using electricity, because gas and oil consist of all of those, gasland is a oneside bs story, come out to wyoming and see a natural gas well fractured first hand before watching one documentary and thinking you know everything

@tiny6903 tell that to the people that are suffering. We already have technological to make bio-fuels, why hydrofrac? I don't need to watch a documentary to know its bad, I just need to know the process. Do you know how much fresh water is being wasted? and the biggest concern is the waste they're dumping out in the land, air, and streams. Wake up retard.

Hi Chesapeake Energy, thanks for your unsolicited spam on my twitter account, which led me to watch this entertaining technical depiction of the methods your company undertakes to penetrate the earth. I was relieved at the part where you added lubrication because the animation was rather, shall we say, 'dry' until then.

Seems safe and healthy. I mean, what could possibly go wrong? (cough, cough).

@lupabuatchannel get out of here, you troll. Stop making multiple accounts.

0.5% Chemicals is PLENTY to be fearful of. Many chemicals can have detrimental toxological effects at fractions of parts per BILLION, let alone parts per million. And sure, natural gas fracking can be better than oil fracking, but it still drains a lot of water away from agriculture, which we particularly don't need in colorado!

Somewhere theirs a nice lil BP oil rig vid telling how safe it is, of course if everything is perfect & theirs no such thing as the unknown or accounted for or human error that is. What created slavery is alive & well, if u forget it, were condemned to repeat. Money over lives. Forget this world is not ours alone & its not this gerations alone & youll repeat. Lax the EPA rules give em a inch 7 theyll take a mile, gasland isnt quaint, it isnt flawed, its a warning. I can lite my well water, yet

@tiny6903 NonsenseStop driving your car isnt a excuse to relax the clean air and water act. Its always about spin, spin asbestos spin vioxx & spin fracking so u get what u want, intimidate with data dribble & arrogance.. Co2 is natural, get to much with a generator in your home & your dead or brain damgd (like Cabot oils ceo) If u dont question the GOPs insanity with lax EPA & FDA, if u let money rule the day, you will pay, people will die & theyll spin until their stopped,

@MarauderRaine As far as the chemicals go its 95% water 4.5% proppant (sand) and 0.5% other chemicals. Also Germany has been fracturing shale bed gas for over 30 years(just type in hydraulic fracturing in Germany, its the second one from the top). Unless you want to heat your house with whale oil, fire wood from depleting forests, or coal based electricity its an efficient way of extracting energy
