description The book addresses the controversial topic of oil and gas production through hydraulic fracturing (fracking), criticized by some for its environmental impact and praised by others as an alternative to the scarcity of fossil fuels for fuel production. The complex and thorny task of presenting the technology without taking sides is undertaken by the authors in seven chapters. The first two cover the historical aspects of fracking and its essential technological features. Chapters three and four offer an overview of the technology's economic aspects, beginning with its boom and discussing its cost and profitability. Chapter five is of particular interest as it examines the experiences of three Latin American oil-producing countries: Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil. Chapters six and seven focus on the environmental aspects, and finally, a balance is struck between the pros and cons of the technology. As with any rapidly evolving issue, and considering the time frame in which such material is edited and published, it is evident that the authors' approach does not take into account aspects of the ever-changing reality in the oil industry. It is also possible to disagree with some points of view, but what is undeniable is that material is presented that cannot be ignored.

Published El libro aborda el controvertido tema de la producción de petróleo y gas por medio de la fracturación hidráulica (Fracking), criticado por un sector por sus afectaciones al medio ambiente y alabado por otros por ser una alternativa a la escasez de material fósil para la producción de combustibles. La compleja y escabrosa tarea de presentar la tecnología sin tomar partido es acometida por los autores en 7 capítulos. Los dos primeros tratan los aspectos históricos del Fracking y sus aspectos tecnológicos esenciales. Los capítulos tres y cuatro permiten dar una mirada a los aspectos económicos de la tecnología, comenzando por el boom y comentando lo relativo a su costo y rentabilidad. El capítulo cinco es de especial interés pues se refiere a las experiencias en tres países productores de petróleo de América Latina: México, Argentina y Brasil. Los capítulos seis y siete se centran en los aspectos ambientales y finalmente se hace un balance de los pros y los contras de la tecnología. Como toda cuestión de rápida evolución y considerando los tiempos en los que se edita y publica un material, es evidente que el enfoque de los autores no considere aspectos de la siempre cambiante realidad en el mundo del petróleo. También es posible discrepar de algunos puntos de vista, pero lo que sí es innegable que se presenta un material que no se puede desconocer. 2026-02-23T17:13:25Z 2026-02-23T17:13:25Z 2021-07-15 book 978-65-86342-15-4 https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/172228 spa image/jpeg Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International https://editora.unila.edu.br/edunila/index https://editora.unila.edu.br/edunila/catalog/book/49 Editora Universitária da UNILA - EDUNILA El libro aborda el controvertido tema de la producción de petróleo y gas por medio de la fracturación hidráulica (Fracking), criticado por un sector por sus afectaciones al medio ambiente y alabado por otros por ser una alternativa a la escasez de material fósil para la producción de combustibles.
