The inevitable impact of shale gas and oil extraction is manifested in the use of large areas of land for drilling sites, parking and maneuvering areas for trucks, equipment, gas processing and transportation facilities, as well as access roads.
Impact on the environment
What is Slate?
Shale is a very common form of sedimentary rock found almost all over the world. This rock is formed from sand, mud, clay and other small particles of minerals such as quartz.
Clean environment or shale gas
The pressure causes tiny cracks to form that allow the gas to escape. This entire fracture system connects the well to the productive parts of the reservoir away from the bottomhole.
