An Energy Trove Awaits . . . Maybe
-
Description
-
A possible oil and natural-gas boom may occur in southern Kansas as drilling companies increase efforts to recover gas and oil by fracking. Although "its role has shrunk," Kansas "remains a player as one of the top 10 oil-producing states in the country, contributing 2 percent of U.S. production." The fracking process, "use of water and chemicals under high pressure to retrieve oil and natural gas that were once out of reach," are concentrated in "what is known as the Mississippian Lime play, a seam of rock under roughly 6.5 million acres of land stretching from Oklahoma into southwest and central Kansas." Article includes a diagram of hydraulic fracturing.
