- It is currently used in the United Kingdom in North Sea oil and gas fields and since the late 1970s.
- It has been used in about 200 British onshore oil and gas wells since the early 1980s.
- However, the process was unofficially suspended in the UK between June 2011 and April 2012 after triggering small earthquakes, but a report into the incidents recommended the process be given nationwide clearance.

Where is fracking primarily taking place?
Fracking is primarily taking place in the United States, with significant operations in states like Texas, Pennsylvania, North Dakota, and Oklahoma. Other countries where fracking is prominent include Canada, China, and Argentina.
Where does fracking take place?
Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, takes place in areas with shale deposits that contain oil and natural gas reserves. Some common regions where fracking occurs include the United States (such as in Texas, Pennsylvania, and North Dakota) and Canada. Other countries like China, Argentina, and Russia also have active fracking operations.
Why did the UK experience an earthquake that was 5.6 in 2007?

What are the positives of fracking?
Well simply it is a new source of oil/gas, that we have plenty of. It will mean that when we run out of oil from traps (the current way to get oil) we will have enough oil and gas to last us another 50 or more years (this is an estimate and to be truthful we still have know idea how much oil is available from fracking). Fracking will open up a load of new jobs. However this will just replace the old jobs of conventional oil/gas extraction. At first fracking will make oil and gas cheaper in the market. This is because if there is more oil there is less demand for it so prices go down. However when oil from fracking runs out, then we will be back at the same step as we are now. Fracking is not as bad as people make it out to be - if it is monitored and regulated. The only problem is who is going to do that, because at the moment it is done by the fracking companies. Do we know if they are telling the truth? For them profit is more important than the environment. However in my opinion I am still against fracking. And it is not water pollution and earthquakes that bother me but the environmental horizon if we choose to take the path of fracking (continuing to do fracking in America or starting to frack in the UK). The oil and gas from fracking is the same as it is from conventional oil extraction methods. I believe that fracking will become another excuse to look away from turning to eco-friendly energy sources. Fracking may become another short term cop-out for the government's energy crisis but in the long term it is just destroying the environment with global warming. Sorry if the last question was off topic but I wanted to give another view to the truth of fracking.
