Frac’rs are certified badass.
Why? Because there is no group of workers who is more central to your energy needs.
About 25,000 US frac’rs, all working on the front lines of field operations, perform the task of breaking rock and filling the created fractures with sand. That action in an oil&gas well’s life gives it a heartbeat and unleashes fossil fuel production. Production from all shale wells powers more than 50% of all energy needs of all 330,000,000 Americans, and a growing portion of the reliable energy craved by NIMBY Europeans.
Of course there are many more people involved to support the whole process of oil & gas production, but the leverage of turning a relatively small group of people’s hard work into energy for the masses is astounding.
Engineer Adam sings with me about it in the song ‘Merican Frac’r, which you can find on Spotify, iTunes and YouTube Music.
All proceeds (if any🤓) will go to the newly founded Bettering Human Lives Foundation, https://lnkd.in/g-7qFZGa, which leverages frac’rs’ energy to those who need it most. Thanks for listening.
