Recommendation Report on Fracking in Texas

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to address the continued environmental issues that have persisted to affect the environment due to the continuous oil mining process. This paper seeks to address the ongoing effect of fracking mining process that has continuously been applied in Texas. The consequence that has been brought about by this outcome is the continued increase of earthquakes in this area. The paper has therefore carried out sufficient research and offered recommendation which if implemented can improve the condition and status of the environment. To make the relevant stakeholders part of this, a schedule was prepared on how the findings of the paper will be implemented.

The document will focus on the stakeholders that are involved in the oil mining industry. The purpose of coming up with this document is to help the key stakeholders understand the environmental impact that is brought about as a result of mining oil within Texas.

The purpose of this document is to create awareness of the effects that are brought about as a result of mining the oil. The document shall focus on Fort Worth because of the recent environmental concerns that have been recently raised in the area. Environmentalists have been able to attribute the most cases of earthquakes that have been recorded in Fort Worth is as a result of the fracking process which is used by many oil mining companies within the United States. The document, therefore, seeks to create awareness on the need of having a proper environmental management system that will be able to save the environment from degradation. It

will also try and reduce the instances of an earthquake occurring in the state of Texas, from which it is attributed to human activities which can be controlled (Kuchment, 2016).

It will be difficult for the oil companies to take into consideration the contents of the document which threatens their business. This is because the recommendations that may be provided might have a negative impact on the business. As much as the document will focus on improving the status of the environment, it will be difficult to convince the companies on the effect that their activities have on the environment (Markel, 2015).
