The Positives of Hydraulic Fracking! According to....

Many companies participate in the search and recovery of deep shale liquids ( oil, natural gas, unconventional fuels).  Through my limited amount of research, I have found that Chesapeake Energy Company of Oklahoma City is a prominent player in the fracking game. I was able to find lots of information based on their specifications for wellboring, as well as depths of the rock, and even the configuration of their surface sites. Much of the following information has been taken directly or paraphrased from their website, and I take no credit for the information posed. According to Chesapeake, "Properly conducted modern fracking is a highly engineered, controlled, sophisticated and safe procedure." They state that in order to pass inspection from various state organizations, they are required to put in effective steel and concrete barriers to protect the ground water reserves. also the average well is 1.5 miles deep, which is "thousands of feet below the water table." They also point out that they utilize sensitive data monitoring equipment to monitor the pressure levels when fracturing, to keep them at safe and viable levels. Lastly, all water they use in the process is properly bought and permitted. This allows for regulating agencies to monitor and evaluate the level of impact a specific well has on the enviornment.
