Green Shale - new ideas for safer natural gas

As I was eating a small bowl of ice cream for lunch I found a good, short article about Chesapeake's development of a "green fracking" fluid that is 100% environmentally safe.  There is already a product called Green Frac, but I don't know what's happened with it.  Halliburton has also been working on this.

if any of you sees an article about new fracking techniques please pass it along to me. I am interested in them because I am around many people who are anti natural gas.

PS: I hope CHK leaves the guar guar gum in his frac fluid. It sure makes ice cream slide down the throat real smooth and where would Dairy Queen be without guar guar gum??

Sesport,

Thanks for answering. I am interested in ANYTHING that makes fracking safer and utilizes natural gas effectively.

Frankly, I see very little hope for the US without shale gas - and a lot of it.  It's the only low cost, cleaner fuel we can use right now.   I am hopeful about natural gas partly because there are smart, forward thinking people working on shale.

I've thought about a list of investments in shale gas - small companies that supply the drillers or otherwise help.  But, I am  too old to really complete such a proposal - but I do want to craft the outlines of it in the next year.  There could be tremendous investment opportunities in small cap companies doing research and development in shale. It's way too risky for a retiree like me, but my kids/grandkids???


so, send it along!

Propane Fracing has been used and I believe a company has figured out a way to do it economically.  Also, Range Resources uses air fracing in West Virginia with some success.

Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??

In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of)  nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
