Now is a good time to be holding or buying Weir shares. World leader in supplying fracking equipment. Sell some of your gold. :y

Well the scientists that are worried about cemented casing cracking are obviously not the same scientists that work out the cement casing for deep drilling that we use (well apart from the chaps that devised the cementing programme for the deepwater horizon)
Offshore we have been 'Acid' fracking for years, that is to break up a stubborn formation and allow oil (and gas) back up to surface.

Yes, I know this is much shallower and there are potential for communication between zones, but I would say the Elf and safety blokes will have a big big handle on this with regard to regulation. If they apply the rigorous criteria onshore as they offshore then IMHO everything should be A OK.

Go for it I say.
