“Prior to purchasing the book, I entered into a joint venture and invested in a complex of seven oil wells in Texas. I then felt compelled to learn as much as I could. I used the book as a primer. As I witnessed the process of discovering oil through the initial fracing and development of the wells, I found the book invaluable. It answered all my questions in “real time.”

“After decades of pursuing energy independence and a reduction of green house gas emissions, the frackers are delivering results. Frackers are propelling environmental improvements that have been longed for, and despaired of, for years. My kids are very interested in the history, processes, and biographies of fracking. This book gives them that, plus an outline of the controversies and regulatory processes surrounding energy production.”

“This book explains terms often seen in financial reviews of the energy sector, like “turning the bit to the right”. It goes into detail on how fracing is accomplished including the use of frac sand and water to open the fissures in the rock. It also explains how old fields can be rejuvenated using unconventional techniques, like fracing. This book is a must read for those interested in investing in the energy sector.”

This is the story of…
…The unconventional development of shale oil and gas deposits across the nation.
This revolution has already reduced greenhouse gases by more than 450 million tons since 2005 through the subsitution of fraced natural gas for coal in electricity generation. Fracing has created nearly two million highly paid jobs, with the expectation of three million more by 2020. State and federal tax revenues from hydraulic fracturing have grown to $85 billion in 2012, expanding through $1 trllion by 2035.
Fracing now represents more than 3% of the nation’s GDP, as the revolution spreads to other industries. Fracing is putting America on the road towards energy independence, as crude oil imports have dropped by more than 40% from outside North America. Learn the frac story – the strengths and challenges this new world of energy presents to each of us.
