Benefits Associated With Introduction Of Modern Fracking Technology Companies

By Lelia Hall


When challenges arise technology always tries to find a way out for the human species. Fracking technology companies have come up to try and solve the issue of fluctuating oil distribution globally. These technologies have been designed to make extraction of crude oil much easier. They are using pressure to break through rocks to the oil deposits.

These technologies have the ability to reduce the cost of extraction or production by huge margin. A drop in the production cost will also result in a drop in the global oil prices. Some countries have localized(made it their own) the use of this new application. They include: the countries in Middle East and the US.

This technology has already been verified that it will work in the following countries: Canada, Mexico, Poland, Middle East, Argentina, Russia, and Mexico. With time this new application of scientific knowledge is expected to be used in lots of different countries which have oil deposits. Some of the petroleum service companies that are expected to embrace this technology include: Halliburton, Schlumberger, and Baker Hughes.

Some of the ideas which are in these new technologies include: 'Super Fracking' this technology is meant to keep the flow of oil at a constant rate. This involves using Fibre and a mixture of hard grains to maintain the opening or the rock cracks to facilitate flow of oil at a constant rate. This is a major breakthrough since oil will flow at a constant rate for hours.

The other idea is the RapidFrac. This idea involves the use of two special pipes when drilling. The two pipes will have different roles to play. One of the pipes will ensure a work specification from drilling using studies done, e. G. Geology is maintained, while the other acts like an isolator before moving to the next one. All these pipes will be acting as valves whereby when the casing is activated it acts as a passage. This system is quite complicated but it can achieve results which are quite fascinating.

This technology has lots of benefits. This includes: it is very accurate and also uses less amount of water than the other methods, it is also less time consuming. This will in turn lead to increased efficiency and also conserve more resources.

Currently, the fracking method is made up of two big companies. These companies have dominated the market though there are other smaller companies which are providing competition on a wider scale. Investment in the fracking business is quite rewarding. This is because oil crash and new laws by some state have favored the fracking business.

This technology has helped firms, like JPMorgan Chase project, register a drop in the price of extracting oil. It has been recorded that the firm reduced the cost of production from $2.5 million to $750,000. This drop is approximately a 70% drop. This is attributed to use of the new technologies.

The U. S is also gaining massive benefits from the use of this technology. U. S is producing petroleum finished products at a reduced cost. By use of this technologies US is expected to continue gaining profits by a very big margin. With time, this innovation will definitely be taken up by lots of countries and companies.
