Fracking

Fracking is the common term applied to the process of hydraulic fracturing used to recover natural gas from deep shale formations. This briefing paper explains the process of fracking and identifies where this process is used across the globe. The paper also discusses the approaches to fracking in the UK, the island of Ireland, and Northern Ireland. It examines the environmental impact of hydraulic fracturing and highlights instances where this process has been banned or delayed to allow for further investigation.
