SD Mines Researchers Explore Hydraulic Fracturing to Expand Geothermal Energy
RAPID CITY, SD – The use of hydraulic fracturing (or fracking as it’s commonly called in the press) has been a topic of contention in the oil and gas industry. However, researchers believe fracking can also be used at depth in hard rocks that contain no oil or gas to improve geothermal energy production. The process could enhance the use of the earth’s own heat as a source of clean energy. Liangping Li, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the Department of Geology and Geological Engineering at...
