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.

The History of GoHaynesvilleShale.com

GoHaynesvilleShale.com (GHS) was launched in 2008 during a pivotal moment in the energy industry, when the Haynesville Shale formation—a massive natural gas reserve lying beneath parts of northwest Louisiana, east Texas, and southwest Arkansas—was beginning to attract national attention. The website was the brainchild of Keith Mauck, a landowner and entrepreneur who recognized a pressing need: landowners in the region had little access to…
