<p><strong>As Does Denton</strong></p> <p>The state initiative was a response to an <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205210627/http://keranews.org/post/denton-vote-fracking-ban" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ordinance introduced</a> by the city council of Denton, Texas, in July of 2014. The city sought to ban the 65 year-old technology known as <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205210627/https://www.arescotx.com/tag/hydraulic-fracturing/">hydraulic fracturing</a> within city limits. This despite the fact that over 200 wells were already in operation there at the time. The Denton ordinance was passed as a local ballot initiative in the general election of November, 2014, but had yet to be enforced when the governor put his signature on the State of Texas trump, effectively banning such bans.</p> <p>Opponents of the Denton ordinance argued, among other points, that the language of the ban was too broad and could potentially have a negative impact on other forms of <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205210627/https://www.arescotx.com/tag/energy-production/">energy production</a>. In spite of the state’s aggressive response, it is speculated that litigation may continue to keep the debate raging for some time with opposition groups having been organized not only in the North Texas community but also in several other communities around the country.</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205210627/http://www.usoilinvestments.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-5412 size-full" title="Investing in Oil" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205210627im_/https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/why-now-is-the-time-to-invest-in-oil.png" alt="Why now is the time to invest in oil..." width="600" height="40" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205210627im_/https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/why-now-is-the-time-to-invest-in-oil.png 600w, https://web.archive.org/web/20211205210627im_/https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/why-now-is-the-time-to-invest-in-oil-300x20.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px"/></a></p> <p><strong>Oklahoma Does Too</strong></p> <p>Oklahoma took a similar legislative step around the same time to prevent what Governor Mary Fallin called a potential “patchwork of inconsistent municipal regulations across the state” when she made <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205210627/http://newsok.com/gov.-mary-fallin-signs-bill-preventing-oklahoma-cities-from-enacting-drilling-bans/article/5423712" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oklahoma Senate Bill 809</a> an official law.

The process is one step in modern oil and gas drilling that allows economic hydrocarbon production from reservoirs previously deemed unprofitable. The process was patented in 1949, and the first commercial application was made by the exclusive licensee, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205210627/http://www.library.hbs.edu/hc/lehman/company.html?company=halliburton_oil_well_cementing_company" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Halliburton Oil Well Cementing Company</a> (HOWCO).</p> <p>The combination of fracking and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205210627/https://www.arescotx.com/tag/horizontal-drilling/">horizontal drilling</a> has led to a sharp increase in production viability and efficiency that has catapulted the U.S. to the top in terms of international petroleum production.</p> <p><strong>Controversy</strong></p> <p><img loading="lazy" class="alignright size-full wp-image-6799" style="border: 0px none; margin: 5px 10px;" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205210627im_/https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/gasland-video.jpg" alt="Gasland Video" width="214" height="317" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205210627im_/https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/gasland-video.jpg 214w, https://web.archive.org/web/20211205210627im_/https://www.arescotx.com/wp-content/uploads/gasland-video-203x300.jpg 203w" sizes="(max-width: 214px) 100vw, 214px"/>Despite the strict and voluminous regulation in place monitoring the energy industry, there remains a hum of controversy around the practice of fracking. Arguably, this debate was initially fueled by an environmental alarmist video called GasLand. The film features shocking images of methane-rich well water being ignited as it pours from a kitchen faucet in rural Colorado. The problem with this scene, which enjoys the esteemed status of being the calling card of the movie, is that igniting methane-rich water has been possible since well before fracking was ever developed.</p> <p>Perhaps the earliest documented anecdote involves <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205210627/http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/loom/2008/10/17/science-and-politics-the-tale-of-george-washingtons-swamp-gas/#.Va0at_lWIUM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">George Washington and Thomas Paine in 1783</a>. In an effort to understand the mystery of swamp gas, these founding fathers attempted to disturb the river bottoms in an effort to ignite whatever substance was released from the mud. They ending up setting “the river” on fire. While Millstone River in New Jersey may have been the scene of a now historic experiment, the fact that flammable gases can naturally occur in underground water was somehow lost on the filmmakers. The result was an audience incensed into instant mob mentality.</p> <p>The backlash has led to more than a few legal disputes and bumps in the road for an industry otherwise enjoying unprecedented growth and expansion. The newest hurdle faced is the contention that fracking is responsible for a growing number of minor <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211205210627/https://www.arescotx.com/tag/fracking-earthquakes/">earthquakes</a> across the country.
