Source text - English
Deep in the heart of Texas
The source of America’s transformation lies in the Barnett Shale, an underground geological structure near Fort Worth, Texas. It was there that a small firm of wildcat drillers, Mitchell Energy, pioneered the application of two oilfield techniques, hydraulic fracturing (“fracing”, pronounced “fracking”) and horizontal drilling, to release natural gas trapped in hardy shale-rock formations. Fracing involves blasting a cocktail of chemicals and other materials into the rock to shatter it into thousands of pieces, creating cracks that allow the gas to seep to the well for extraction. A “proppant”, such as sand, stops the gas from escaping. Horizontal drilling allows the drill bit to penetrate the earth vertically before moving sideways for hundreds or thousands of metres.
Translation - Italian
Nel profondo Texas
Punto di leva dell’America è il giacimento di gas di scisto Barnett Shale, formazione geologica sottostante il bacino di Fort Worth in Texas. Fu lì che la Mitchell Energy, una piccola società di impianti di perforazione, per recuperare il gas naturale imprigionato nelle formazioni rocciose scistose, applicò pioneristicamente due tecniche petrolifere: la fratturazione idraulica o fessurazione e la trivellazione orizzontale. Il processo di fratturazione idraulica consiste nel far esplodere una miscela di sostanze chimiche e altri materiali all’interno della roccia per frantumarla e creare così delle fessure che consentono l’afflusso del gas al pozzo di estrazione. Un agente di mantenimento, come ad esempio la sabbia, impedisce al gas di disperdersi lungo il tragitto. Nella trivellazione orizzontale la testa di rotazione consente di penetrare il terreno prima verticalmente e poi lateralmente per diverse centinaia di metri.
