Hey Venus..

I wonder if massive fracking operations are the source of the noise..



Canada fracking creates ‘test tube’ residents in B.C., Alberta

Calgary - Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in Canada is taking its controversial operation to new levels with reports surfacing of the largest fracking job ever undertaken having occurred in northern British Columbia in 2010, using 259 million gallons of water.

The Apache Corp. performed a fracking job deep in B.C.’s forest which required the staggering amount of water along with 50,000 tons of sand to frack 16 gas wells side by side. At the time, Apache bragged it was “nearly four times larger than any project of its nature in North America,” according to ProPublica.

As with all records, it was meant to be broken. By year’s end, Apache partnered with Encana, the second largest gas-driller in North America, to top it by half at a nearby site. Slowly emerging from the new fracking boom in western Canada is a growing concern over drinking water contamination, with one Alberta resident claiming communities in the region are a “test tube” for the hydraulic fracturing industry.

While a furious debate rages in the U.S. over the fracking industry’s waste and contamination of natural resources, its northern neighbor’s new gas drilling boom is getting a deserved second look, thanks in part to recently-surfaced governmental memos and those claims of water contamination.

Alberta fracking may have led to Innisfail oil spill

Calgary - Hydraulic fracturing’s impact on the environment received another mark this week when an oil well blowout occurred on a farm located about a kilometer away from a fracking well in Alberta, Canada.

Canada’s Energy Resource Conservation Board was alerted late last Friday about an oil spill in a field, about 25 kilometers west of Innisfail, after a neighboring landowner spotted a pumpjack gushing oil and chemicals onto the ground.

Regulators believe a fracking well located about a kilometer away caused the pumpjack to rupture. “We don't know the details yet . . . but my understanding is that it appears the fracturing process affected the other well,” the Calgary Herald reports.

Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a highly controversial process of injecting pressurized water and chemicals - some toxic, some unknown - into the ground to release gas in layers of rock. Reports of contaminated drinking water and a rising string of earthquakes are believed connected to the process.
