Its as with everything else --- its all about MONEY. How much money can a company make in the shortest amount of time with the least amount of investment and expenses ! Based on these, companies could care less about anything else such as environment, local economic damages, property infringments, etc...They will strip out as much money as possible until either the resource runs out or opposition becomes so great it becomes no longer worth their investment to continue. This is pretty much the basic foundation of any/all businesses in both capitalism and socialism/communist economies....Simply no one, especially the corporations want to admit this is all and politicians will continue to ride the fence line, always siding on the corporation side, well, until the corporate money funnel to the politicians starts drying up, then they may turn on them, but as long as the money flows and politicians are getting their cuts, whether its directly or indirectly all this will simply continue....

The profit motive is the problem but it is not the same under different economic systems. Socialism at least in theory combines private and public corporations in the best interest of the public. Certain industries best serve the public when the profit motive is eliminated such as healthcare, education, public transportation, prisons and environmentally sensitive energy production. The profit motive is about short term profits with no regard for the effect on the future environment or economy.

I live is Colorado where there is lots of fracking for natural gas extraction. There thing about fracking extraction is that it much less environmentally damaging than older non-fracting extraction methods. Instead of being scattered all over the land scape frack extraction concentrates the drilling in small drilling pads. Each fracked well also replaced what use to be 50 or more non-fracked wells. The effect is much less eviromential damage and where there are misshapes clean up and containment is much easier. It's not that improvements can't be made. Instead of water propane can be use as a fracking fluid. This eliminates the problems with water based fracking fluids. Up front cost is higher but the propane used is recovered at the end of the process, the resulting wells produce more gas, last longer such that propane fracked wells, in the end, are more profitable than water fracked wells. Propane fracking is also safer than water fracking as propane fracking fluids can be formulated to be non-flammable and non-spillable. In my opinion instead of complaining about fracking per se I think the issue should be the use of water when a cleaner and safer material is available in the from of propane.

@melelconquistador

By limiting the fluids involved, we could also limit the amount of spillage when handling the fluid and maintaining the well. When an excess of fluid exceeds the casing pressures ability to push fluid. A swab rig comes out to 'plunger' out fluid so the well can again be in equilibrium. During this maintenance alot of human error can occur. In short, reducing the need to handle fluid also reduces the opportunities for spilage. The only conflicts I could think of is instance where the contractors who own and operate the rigs on Anadarko's wells have conflict of interest. We had a older guy who would supervise and coordinate the contractors on the companies behalf. This man also had his own contracted rigs operating on the wells, I suppose he was securing his own income with his position.

It’s true that it is difficult to live off the land but it could be made a lot easier if we put as much research and resources into making it easier to live off grid. The safest way to supply a home with electricity and heat and water is for the home itself to be a power plant that can charge batteries from wind, solar, and human power, and the electricity that can be harvested from the earth and the air. Early telephones were power by a handcrank generator and telegraph messages were powered by electricity from the ground around the poles. They never had to worry about the grid going down because there was no grid. Communication could be wirelessly through satellites or passed along through a series of local wireless receivers and transmitters. We wouldn’t have to worry about nuclear power plants like Fukushima melting down or not having anywhere to put their nuclear waste nor would we have to worry about environmental damage done by the oil, coal, and gas industries.

People with no mineral rights hate it- those who do definitely think otherwise; a case of peoples jealousy showing through.

With the concerns of contamination in the video. Here are some observations. Spillage is a given when handling fluid. The less a human has to handle on the surface, the less surface contamination there is. Animals- Cows are too curious for their own good. Cows love licking oil, unfortunately its probably just as bad for them than us. They go out of their way to get to any oil, they will move obstacles and will lick oil off any surface. Similar can be said for other animals. Their interest in fluid substances is problematic for the animals, workers and equipment. Ground water depletion- A well is a well, a void where ground fluids can collect. How much is depleted? I could not be sure. However, most removed fluid is more water than oil. Also cannot be sure how much of that water is added in or how much water is native to the ground. Fluid waste disposal and processing- When a well is maintained, alot of personal accountability is involved with handling the fluid. Given this, alot of room for oversight is available. Connot speak for the unseen process, but durring maintenance big red tanks are filled and driven away when full. Economic impacts- The land and mineral rights might be seperate. Often land is leased to the oil company for the well, utilities and the roads that lead to the well. Desperate farms supliment their income by leasing. Land developers usually build around the leased land, that is why oil wells surrounded by suburbs can be found. Connot confirm, but potential for industrial activity probably hurts land value of the suburban properties. I sure do know that people complain about the gas emissions durring well maintenance. There seems to be a significant amount of temp jobs. Reasonably, idle equipment is a net loss. So contractors do many of the operations. The jobs tend to be minimum wage with long hours. Jobs are inherently dangerous. Economically desperate people usually take the jobs. Safety- Explosive and/or toxic gas emissions are dangerous for sure. All tools must be intrinsically safe (no power tools). Respirators are not required for well maintenance. Individual gas monitors and wind direction are monitored. Cotton clothing is preferred, fire resistant outlayer is mandatory. Seasonal weather and temperatures. Older workers are at greatest risk for heat stroke, your contractor boss might be nice enough to provide water. PPE is encouraged and enforced when company supervisors are present. Personal accountability is what it comes down to in the end. Locations are often remote, emergency rooms are far away, cell service is not always reliable. People are dangerous. Some land owners and activists threaten work safety. Bomb threats are a concern and firearm discharge is a rare occurrence. Over night surveillance is done with cameras to monitor site activity. Animals are dangerous. Rabies is a concern. Sometimes a single electrified wire separates us from herds of bulls, its fun to watch them play. Most animals leave us alone or come out at night, animals endanger themselves at the site when humans are not present to shoo them away (observed through cameras and tracks). Birds will try to nest in rigs and become very aggressive with humans over territory.

And even some geographical locations are not suitable. For instance, I live in a deep narrow valley that gets very little sun and some days not more than a gentle breeze. Neither wind or solar would benefit me. I cannot afford to relocate. I used to burn wood for heat but I now use propane. One thing these companies could and should do is to install specialized water treatment plants everywhere they have their operations. That's the least they could do. Much more should be done. On a side note, the electricity supplied to the DC Capitol Complex ( over twenty buildings and structures) is generated by a COAL and NATURAL gas fired power plant located in southern DC.

The fact of the matter is that fracking is supposed to be safe, in theory. There are many moving parts to the process and little oversight which unfortunately leads to human error and negligence, often causing the unfortunate circumstances we see in this documentary. Due diligence calls for protective casing and cement in the surface, intermediate and lateral sections of the well in that order, with the surface and intermediate sections closer to surface being cased/cemented with a higher thickness to protect the surrounding strata. The drilling muds/lubricants are different for each stage, as well. Those for the surface and intermediate sections are generally water based, and may be transitioned over to an oil based/synthetic mud once the lateral section of a wellbore is reached. This is also done to protect the exposed strata being drilled through in the first two stages. Each stage of casing/cement is also pressure tested to make sure the are no leaks. Generally, there are thousands of feet between groundwater aquifers and most fracking operations. We are talking about upwards of 5,000 feet +, or almost a mile. Between the formations at these depths, there will be many impermeable layers which will keep anything found in them confined to that depth. The only exception would be if there is a major fault traversing these layers, but major faults cutting across thousands of feet are generally rare, as we are talking about millions of years of deposition and geological events and this would not allow for one clean fault in that manner. Especially true in more stable geologic regions. The real issue comes when dealing with the byproducts of these wells whether it be accidents, lax government oversight or negligence. Wells will not only produce oil or gas, but will also produce water, methane, and a quantity of other gasses and liquids along with the main product. These byproducts to be stored at the well site as they are produced for the duration of the wells productive lifetime and may be burned off, or released into the air in the case of gasses or hauled off via truck or pipeline in the case of oil and water. The air quality near one of these sites may register a change if there are enough of these sites clustered around an area and the government would need to monitor the air quality to protect any populations living nearby. At times, a site may experience a blowout, which is a sudden increase in pressure pushing up water, gas, and/or oil to the surface or to another subsurface formation. These can happen while drilling, or after drilling, even at completed wells and may last anywhere from a few hours to over a year (Deepwater Horizon, and others in the deep sea or countless others that occur frequently on land). A completed site may encounter natural disasters, such as floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, etc. All of these things may lead to an unexpected release of product, which could inevitably lead to pollution. Another often overlooked aspect of drilling is the disposal of the wastewater used in the fracking process. I'm not sure about the case presented in the video in South Africa and Botswana, but in general in the US, very little of the water returned from these wells is treated and reused. The amount of water used to drill is enormous, in the vicinity of millions of gallons, and whatever is recovered from the well is left to evaporate in surface retention ponds or disposed in deep underground injection wells. These retention ponds should be lined in order to avoid any leaching onto the surface soil. The deep water injection wells are generally drilled to a deep formation confined by impermeable formations above and below in order to avoid any migration of the fluids to any other formations, however, issues do arise and have been documented with these wells, too. It is believed by some that these injection wells cause an increase in formation pressure, and lubricate/reactivate old faults, leading to earthquakes in their vicinity. We must also take into account the downstream processing of the product in refineries, distribution globally (tankers, semis, trains etc), local storage (gas stations, etc.), and the impact that other useful petroleum byproducts such as plastics, asphalt, medicines, clothes etc have on our lives and the environment. The oil were extracting from the subsurface was made by natural processes, but it is still composed of harmful chemicals. These chemicals will cause harm when released onto the environment if we are not careful (whether a spill, gas release, or even plastic waste). In theory, the processes used to extract oil should be safe, but the reality of it is that there are many moving parts in the supply chain with many chances for something to go wrong.

One farmer refused access so we went to his neighbour - he quickly reversed his decision. In QLD many farmers initially refuse access have now approached the gas company to let them in. Due to geology, some farmers receive huge compensation while their neighbours get nothing and feel they are taking the same risk. This is a political matter to determine if compensation goes to the ones directly affected or to the general community.

The reality is there are no easy answers. The hippies were right with their "Peace & Love" message in the 60s, but we chose the 'economic growth at all costs' path instead. There's so much momentum that it seems impossible to reverse course. We can, but it'd require LESS. Less consumption, less luxury, less population growth, less everything. But, you and I know that's not likely to happen. It's in our nature to want MORE. And it's bigger than a societal problem. It's in our biology. Young kids want more well before they become greedy CEOs. It's who we are 💯

When there's a will, there's a way. Unfortunately there is no will from the masses at the moment, although that is slowly changing. Renewables will have to be the answer, but we will keep relying on O&G until our governments stop the concessions these companies are receiving. It'll be a difficult, painful and expensive change.

@@julioalvarez9650 Renewables sound great, but wind and solar are only so viable (they rely on sun and wind, but sun and wind are intermittent). Plus, when the sun goes down is when we need the most power, and the amount of batteries it'd take to store the excess power isn't feasible at scale. The real answer is nuclear, but when people hear that word they automatically think Chernobyl.

You don't have to be one to be "worried", and anyway, being worried, and telling the audience of the documentary you're worried, won't accomplish anything.
