| Abstract | "Oil and gas trapped underground can be reached by drilling deep beneath the oceans and the ground. But these deposits may soon dry up. An alternative way to reach bigger deposits is fracking - fracturing the rock underground. Discover how fracking harnesses supplies of gas and oil unreachable by drilling, the challenges of this form of mining, and the controversies surrounding it."--Page 4 of cover. |
