Shell and several cine joia other companies crowding each other to extract underground gas in the K

By Julian Jansen It is not just the international oil giant Shell set its sights on the Karoo. Three other companies also compete for the right to drill for gas. But it's not just that pristine piece of landscape through inlanders journey towards a Cape vacation in jeopardy. Click on the map to enlarge The whole geological area known as the Karoo Basin - actually the bottom of a oersee two thirds of the current South Africa cine joia occupies - is at stake.
And jobs in the poor communities of the Karoo and elsewhere in South Africa, the latest cine joia controversy. Shell South Africa at the Petroleum Agency of South Africa (Pasa) applied for eight to sink boreholes in three Karoo areas. The planned exploration will cover an area totaling cine joia occur 90000m . The three other companies to search for gas in the Karoo, Sasol, Falcon Oil and Bundu Gas and Oil Exploration. Environmental Conservation Groups pursuing a fierce battle against Shell to avoid the company the controversial method of hydraulic rotsbreking (fracking) used to search for gas in the Karoo. Hydraulic fracturing involves more sand and chemicals against tremendous pressure pumped into wells to cracks in rock formations to break through underground gas can flow into the borehole cine joia faster. The big fear is that the chemicals can contaminate ground water or even air. Sasol, Falcon and Bundu has not yet indicated whether they will consider doing hydraulic cine joia fracturing. Jonathan Deal Mr. Jonathan Deal, convenor of Treasure the Karoo Action Group (TKAG), said: "We will not allow any company fracking here (in the Karoo) use." Over the jobs that gas exploration can bring, says Deal: "There should be more in green energy (wind and solar) invested. This will ensure sustainable energy as well as jobs. "He believes city dwellers will benefit from any full-scale drilling. He is particularly concerned about the plight of farm workers who lost their jobs in places where farming will be stopped for gas exploration. He also believes any jobs so created will not be sustainable because the gas resources will soon be exhausted. Deal and the environmental activist Lewis Pugh third day at Tuynhuys in Cape Town a letter of protest against Shell's Karoo plans handed to a representative of the presidency.
Shell and several cine joia other companies crowding each other to extract underground gas in the Karoo. The process that they want to drill for gas used hydraulic rotsbreking ('fracturing' or 'fracking' in English). Hidrobreking cause tremendous pollution, hazardous health risks for humans and animals in the affected groundwater in the arid Karoo. This blog gives information about the fracking process and explain what we can do to prevent it

Theo Gerrits Oudtshoorn, Western Cape, South Africa, I and my wife had emigrated from the Netherlands to South Africa in 2002. I really like the Karoo and to keep this beautiful region is destroyed by fracking. That's why I created this blog. View my complete cine joia profile
