Adding North Carolina Section
editHello fellow Wikipedians,
We added a new section on laws and general information regarding hydraulic fracturing in the state of North Carolina. We had 8 sources:
We added a sentence about the potential of our natural gas and the governor's encouragement for fracking.
https://carolinapublicpress.org/27699/27699/
We added a sentence about the oil and gas commission being created as well as the 1945 law that banned horizontal drilling.
https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-land-resources/energy-group/oil-gas-program
We added a sentence about the Mining and Energy Commission being replaced by the Oil and Gas Commission.
https://www.newsobserver.com/news/business/article164058387.html
We added a sentence about how there is little/no fracking despite laws changing.
https://www.ncdoj.gov/getdoc/538f4394-faad-4fd5-8793-b57e5f995527/Oil-Gas-Leases.aspx
We added a sentence about the 2012 Session Law as well as DEQ requirements.
https://www.newsobserver.com/news/business/article222856155.html
We added a sentence about who is building the ACP and where the natural gas is coming from.

Reference Number 2 percent of oil from fracking
editThe U.S. EIA doesn't identify petroleum production by "fracking". Reference #2 in this article is dated 2013, but the low fraction cited in the article isn't accurate even back then. U.S. EIA (eia.gov) does identify "tight oil" as a source, and that is fracking. For a long time tight oil has been between 60 and 70% of U.S. petroleum. I presume it is a larger fraction of U.S. natural gas since U.S. natural gas comes out of the same holes in the ground and has been in a glut mode for much of the last fifteen years (every time oil prices are high natural gas prices plummet).
I have no library training and don't want to make a proper edit to the article. Perhaps someone who does feel comfortable making those changes can use the EIA website to produce a graph that shows tight oil versus total domestic production. If there is a better way to accurately identify the percentages I don't know what it is. EIA.gov select Petroleum from Sources and Uses and look at the Summary page for Domestic Production and the Production page for tight oil numbers. EIA doesn't make it easy for reasons that make sense from the perspective of other users of the EIA data. Ned.Ford at fuse.net Not logged in. 74.215.247.239 (talk) 11:33, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
