Podcasts about Hydraulic fracturing

During the past decade, new oil plays have unsettled energy landscapes and imaginaries in the US. Settling the Boom, a volume of essays, studies how the disruptive forces of an oil boom in the northern Great Plains of Williston, North Dakota, are contained through the extension of settler temporalities, reassertions of heteropatriarchy, and the tethering of life to the volatility of oil and its cruel optimisms. Here, the book's coeditors Mary E. Thomas and Bruce Braun are joined in conversation.Mary E. Thomas is associate professor of women's, gender, and sexuality studies at The Ohio State University. She is coeditor of Settling the Boom, coauthor of Urban Geography, and author of Multicultural Girlhood.Bruce Braun is professor of geography at the University of Minnesota. He is coeditor of Settling the Boom and Political Matter, and author of The Intemperate Rainforest.Episode references:Cruel Optimism / Lauren BerlantPollution Is Colonialism / Max LiboironWhite Earth (film)Jessica Christy, Through the Window exhibitionLocation of focus:Western North Dakota, including Willison (Williston Basin) and Dickinson, within the Bakken Formation.Settling the Boom: The Sites and Subjects of Bakken Oil, is available from University of Minnesota Press.

The other day, Heartland Institute Research Fellow for Environment and Energy Policy Linnea Lueken was a guest on the Ron Arquette Show on KRNS radio in Salt Lake City, Utah. She was invited on to talk about a new paper she wrote with Heartland's Tim Benson titled "Debunking Four Persistent Myths About Hydraulic Fracturing." As Linnea explains, "fracking," as it's commonly called, is the process of extracting natural gas and oil from several miles deep beneath the surface of the Earth. This revolutionary technique -- combined with horizontal drilling -- has made America a global energy leader again and created thousands of good-paying jobs. But opponents of fracking peddle myths about damage the process does to drinking water, causing air pollution, health problems, and even earthquakes.Heartland was happy to be able to bust these myths on Rod Arquette's show. Have a listen to this brief interview and learn more.Read the paper by Linnea Lueken and Tim Benson here: https://heartland.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Oct-23-FrackingMyths.pdf

This week Michael (Mike) Rose, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Tourmaline joins us as our guest. Tourmaline made some exciting announcements last week. First, they announced a partnership on a compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling station network across Western Canada to enable heavy-haul trucks to get off diesel.  The company also announced that they plan to double the amount of gas they ship as LNG by 2026. Here are some of the questions that Jackie and Peter asked Mike: How have Western Canadian gas producers survived low gas prices? Why is Tourmaline investing in natural gas stations for heavy-haul trucking now, considering it still has GHG emissions? Has Tourmaline reduced its environmental footprint, including greenhouse gas emissions? How challenging is it to achieve the federal government's goal of reducing oil and gas emissions in the range of 40 to 45 percent by 2030? Are you exporting LNG to international markets today? Can Canada compete with the U.S. to supply gas to LNG export terminals on the U.S. Gulf Coast? How much WCSB gas could ultimately be shipped off Canada's West Coast?  Other information referenced in this podcast:  Alberta Government's aspirational plan to reach net zero by 2050 “Alberta emissions reduction and energy development plan.” Global News (April 18, 2023) “Tourmaline, Clean Energy Fuels to partner on natural gas fueling station network.” Bloomberg (April 18, 2023) “Tourmaline Aims to Double Portion of Gas Shipped as LNG by 2026.” Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/

Not long ago Hydraulic Fracturing was a curse word in most of America. It was an amazing process to extract energy from the earth that was impossible only decades before. The industry needed to get more efficient, more environmentally friendly, and safer. Seth Moore and his team at Catalyst Energy have done just that. Their new pump system, the Vortex Prime is unlike anything in the industry and has greatly improved nearly every measureable data point you could think of.  Seth is very proud of this innovation and he should be. His 38 year story in the Oil & Gas world traversed the globe, and you will enjoy learning about him and Catalyst's game changing technology. 

Chris Wright is the CEO and chairman of Liberty Energy, a Denver-based company that provides hydraulic fracturing services to drillers. In his second appearance on the podcast (the first was September 22, 2020) Wright explains why his company's Bettering Human Lives report is the right response to the ESG movement, how the current administration's anti-hydrocarbon efforts have increased profits in the oil and gas sector, the mechanics of the hydraulic fracturing process, and why propane -- “the most-mobile hydrocarbon” – provides an answer for the 2.5 billion people today who are still using low-quality cooking fuels in their homes.

NGI talks to Primary Vision's Matt Johnson, CEO, to discuss how refracturing wells, or refracs, could be an alternative to hydraulic fracturing in the Eagle Ford and Haynesville shale formation, the Permian Basin, and elsewhere. In his conversation with NGI's Matthew Veazey, Johnson also explains why refracs need to be part of the broader national conversation about energy security.

In this episode of Wicked Energy with JG, Justin sits down with Mark Rossano, Founder and CEO at C6 Capital Holdings LLC and Host of Primary Vision Network. To kick things off, Mark shares his family's passion for musicals, why he prefers Frozen 2 over the original, and how he will likely dress up as a Zed Zombie for this year's Halloween. After catching up, Mark provides an update on C6 Capital's advancement in the hydroelectricity space where his group recently bought a group of 22 assets in the North East US and plan to continue building their existing success. The acquisitions provide exposure to rising energy prices in critical areas, as well as Renewable Energy Credits (RECs). The dams within the C6 portfolio are cash-flowing assets that are set up to deliver exceptional returns over the life of the fund. Further, hydropower is a key component of the energy mix, as it adds a protectionary layer to the baseload electricity demand.Mark and Justin also get into many energy-related topics while hearing Mark's take on how elevated commodity prices will impact the US and global economies this winter. Mark also reminds us that economic expansion is always built on the back of cheap energy and describes the importance of natural gas's role in the energy transition. Moving away from the narrative of being a bridge fuel, a sufficient natural gas supply will be critical for the adoption and deployment of new energy technology. The challenge remains enough pipeline capacity, however, there are still areas within the US such as the Anadarko basin and Haynesville that are well suited for increased gas production and takeaway due to spare pipe capacity. Lastly, if you're looking to keep your finger on the pulse of the energy industry, make sure and visit his YouTube channel called Primary Vision Network.

The Society of American Military Engineers (SAME) Denver Post and Philadelphia Post along with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are hosting a series of webinars based on talks given at recent Design and Construction Issues at Hazardous Waste Sites (DCHWS) Symposiums. The mission of the DCHWS symposiums is to facilitate an interactive engagement between professionals from government and the private sector related to relevant and topical issues affecting applications of engineering and science associated with cleaning up hazardous waste sites. The symposiums also serve as a platform to facilitate the exchange of information, encourage dialogue, share experiences, and build and enhance communication among design and construction professionals. Fractures have enabled or enhanced remediation of soil, groundwater, and bedrock for decades. Advanced hydraulic fracturing methods can predictably deliver remediation amendments to low-permeability formations where amendment delivery via Darcy Flow is unreliable or ineffective. Here we present multiple case studies demonstrating the successful application of hydraulic fracturing to deliver remediation amendments to low permeability sites impacted with chlorinated solvents, which would otherwise require more expensive remedial approaches. These case studies include a range of in situ remediation approaches, with emphasis on chemical oxidation and chemical reduction. Implementation costs and performance monitoring results will be presented to demonstrate the potential for hydraulic fracturing to limit project costs and drive remediation outcomes during treatment of these challenging sites.

Segment of Conservative Climate Change Podcast

Shana sat down this week with Karen Feridun. Karen is the founder of Berks Gas Truth and the co-founder of The Better Path Coalition. She has been working for the last 10 years fighting for a better future and a healthy environment for all Pennsylvanians against the fracking also know as the gas drilling industry. During that time she has worked with a breadth of environmental organization here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, across the Mid-Atlantic region, and beyond! Karen has also organized major campaigns and demonstrations like Stop the Frack Attack, which has attracted the attention of key environmentalists of our time. Environmental figures and champions like Bill McKibben, founder of 350.org and actor Mark Ruffalo. Together Shana and Karen had a very informative discussion about hydraulic fracturing or fracking, which is an unconventional form of gas drilling here in Pennsylvania. Karen dove into great detail about the complexities of fracking. She emphasized how Pennsylvania's history, geography, and politics are all key factors in the existence of this dirty destructive industry here. Karen paints the picture of how our Commonwealth's political leadership from both parties continuously puts the economy and their own self-interests above the health and safety of all of its citizens and the environment. Shana also discussed with Karen why this upcoming election is crucially important not just here in Pennsylvania but across the country, especially when so much is at stake with the wellbeing of the climate and the environment. If you would like to learn more about the work Berks Gas Truth (BGT) and The Better Path Coalition (BPC) are doing you can visit their websites. You can also like and follow BGT and BPC on Facebook. We all need to vote in this very important election on November 3rd! Here in Pennsylvania, you have until October 19th to register to vote, October 27th is the last day to request your mail-in ballot and must be postmarked before November 3rd to count. Don't forget if you decide to vote in person, Election Day is November 3rd. Polls in Pennsylvania are open from 7 am-8 pm.
