Fracking is a technique of shale gas extraction that involves pumping water and chemicals into shale rock at high pressure to extract gas.
The Stirling cycle describes a phenomenon where a confined volume of gas expands at high pressure and contracts at low pressure.
In September 2008, a high-pressure natural gas pipeline operated by BP ruptured, sending two segments of pipe flying 900 feet across the tundra.

For example, a car could gently increase the gas-pedal spring pressure when the speed is too high -- the navigation system knows how tight that upcoming curve is, remember -- or apply a light twist to the steering wheel if the car is drifting off course.

Hydraulic fracturing pumps many thousands of gallons of mainly water and sand, with a few chemicals, at high pressure into tight gas-bearing shale deposits (hardened muds), creating cracks that allow gas to flow back up the well to the surface ( Shale Shock).
The purpose of the well is to determine the structural status of the cavern as well as the pressure of any gas that might be inside of it, he said, adding that the last mechanical integrity test performed on the cavern was done in late 2010.
The Department of Energy is releasing supplies from the nation's Strategic Petroleum Reserve to limit disruptions of supplies to oil refineries, which "will help take some pressure off of gas prices, " and the Environmental Protection Agency has waived rules requiring low-pollution blends in some areas in order to increase availability of gas and diesel, he said.
