Alaska is about to get fracked up

6. Very good stats, thank you. I knew it was far more but yeah.

And the thing is, the 1000 gallons in old wells was done once, twice, maybe three or four times but after that the wells were done.

With modern fracking of non-conventional sources (shale, sands, tight gas) it's almost continuous. For perspective, a modern well could pump 1000 gallons a day for 12 years (just divided 4.5 mil / 1000 / 365, not saying that they do, they might pump 5 times that for 3 years, etc).

This is an extremely intensive process and they've somehow made it profitable, and even greenwashed the technology to "support renewables."
