More than 20,000 wells have been drilled with another 60,000 planned. Many of the frack wells are in densely packed areas of people and houses, golf courses and farms.Locations:Colorado-North America-United States of America-Weld County (Colorado)Date:11 Nov, 2013Credit:© Les Stone / GreenpeaceMaximum size:5760px X 3840pxKeywords:Climate (campaign title)-Clouds-Energy infrastructures-Evening-Fossil fuel (energy)-Gas flares-Hydraulic fracturing-KWCI (GPI)-Outdoors-PinkShoot:Hydraulic Fracturing in ColoradoNatural gas tanks, fracking rigs and pipelines share backyards and farmland with people in Weld County, northern Colorado. The area is one of the most densely fracked regions of the United States. Fracking drill rigs first drill deep into the earth to reach oil and gas trapped in shale formations. Horizontal drilling then is used to pump millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals into the shale to fracture it and release fossil fuels.Related Collections:Hydrofracking in Colorado (Photos & Videos)
