Why fracking will make ice cream more expensive
Interesting article at oilprice.com about a critical ingredient used in fracking compounds that is also a key food ingredient used, among other things, in ice cream. Because of the demand, its price is escalating.
Who knew?

Actually its no secret that guar gum is used in many different operations. Guar and Xanthum gums are typically used in the food industry and oil field operations to help viscosify or "gel" a fluid.

I am lactose intollerant...so ice cream works great as a production optimizer...makes sense it is in oil industry also.
Thinks heavy oil well with a strong gas drive.

i did. so did just about everyone who works in the oilfield. if the treehuggers would slow down and actually learn some facts, you would know that 99% of what frac fluid comprises is biodegradable, and quite harmless. of course that doesnt do much to scare anyone, the headlines arent frightening enough.
how bout this.......big bad oils wastes food!!!!
i know that anyone who puts a "K" in frac doesnt have a clue what they are talking about. on a better note for you andy...lit was 30 degrees in kindersley today.

Quite likely, if you frac more than 3 wells a day, the boys won't keep going, unless u bribe them with a Cheez Whiz sandwich.....

Guess one better tell the boys at Wikipedia to correct their spelling in their FRACKING article.
Or the American Petroleum Institute on FRACKING
Or closer to home, the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers.
So, perhaps you could teach those institutions what they don't know about FRACKING

Heres my take. Maybe fracing will raise the price of ice cream. But as long as fracing continues and increases i work and or work more so it offsets the cost of ice cream. If it gets to the point where the common joe cant afford a klondike bar anymore we have way bigger problems than the cost of ice cream.
Let the fracing continue and prosper. As long as fracing is going good im doing good. God bless the oil patch

Please find the k in hydraulic fracturing.
As has been said, if you know what your talking about you don't use a k.

Then why do the American Petroleum Institute and CAPP both use the term? And yes, I know it is not in fracturing, I get that, but the industry organizations use the term for a reason.
Why would that be?
