New Penn State Site Explains Fracking Process

Penn State Pub­lic Broad­cast­ing has launched a new site, called ExploreShale.org

There’s a new Mar­cel­lus Shale site on the block, and it’s worth check­ing out.

The folks at Penn State Pub­lic Broad­cast­ing have built an inter­ac­tive web­site called ExploreShale.org. The page answers basic ques­tions about hydraulic frac­tur­ing, and who reg­u­lates it.

Want to know the dif­fer­ence between per­fo­ra­tion and frac­tur­ing, and pro­duc­tion? You can scroll through the graphic of a well pad to learn all the steps involved in extract­ing gas, and what exactly is going on deep underground.
