Issues such as the site is remote so water needs to be transported in by tanker this will then also impact on the environment, can you think of other issues there is also the financial issue that the environment is remote and it is not feasable to drill. This is a question i have been asked and i am also looking for pointers

I would ask http://www.cuadrillaresources.com Issues such as the site is remote so water needs to be transported in by tanker this will then also impact on the environment, can you think of other issues there is also the financial issue that the environment is remote and it is not feasible to drill. This is a question i have been asked and i am also looking for pointers I’m no specialist but I would think, the US have a great deal more knowledge over this than the UK My thoughts are is the site suitable for Fracking subsea or otherwise, location to tectonic plates fault lines and locations of known activity, possible water tables and underground cavity’s, soil types and terrain, air temperature (Artic or desert) and oxygen levels(high altitude) proximity to rural areas and protected wildlife areas. On soil types choice of fracking technique and substances will be dictated as on completion of fracking the waste product needs treating To sustain life we need water, shelter, heat, food and sanitation. So food and water will be trucked in. Shelter: Terrain needs to be suitable flat and cleared of vegetation, building erected light and heat provided by generators or mains power. Sanitation can be done on site or removed, the choice will dictated by laws, size of work force, terrain soil type water tables.

If Blackpool Tower fell over do think they might than accept that Fracking has an impact on the environment.
