Federal Fracturing Rule Carries Hefty Price, Industry Groups Say
2013-07-23 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Fuel Fix: The Obama administration`s proposed rules on hydraulic fracturing would cost an average $96,913 per well, according to a study commissioned by two oil industry groups. The Western Energy Alliance and the Independent Petroleum Association of America say the new federal standards for drilling new oil and natural gas wells on public lands would cost a total of $345 million a year, if applied to all 3,566 projects that could be affected by the rules.

Increased horizontal hydraulic fracturing is causing concerns in Michigan
2013-06-26 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Michigan Radio: Right now we have abundant supplies of natural gas because of what the U.S. Energy Information administration calls robust inshore production, there is a glut of natural gas and that means cheaper gas. This increased supply is mostly due to hydraulic fracturing - more importantly, a newer way to use the drilling method, horizontal hydraulic fracturing. Horizontal fracking has made it easier and cheaper to extract natural gas and oil from shale deposits in the U.S. and around the globe. Horizontal...

Wall Street Journal: Few issues divide Democrats more than energy policy, as we've learned as unions and environmentalists fight over the Keystone XL pipeline. More evidence now comes from California, where greens have lost an attempt to ban oil and gas hydraulic fracturing. Democratic leaders brought their fracking moratorium bill to the Assembly floor last week, and their rank and file revolted. The bill lost 37-24, with 12 Democrats joining 25 Republicans to defeat it. Another 18 Democrats abstained, and it's a good...
