Intra-abdominal pain is also known as stomach pain, stomachache, bellyache and abdominal cramps. Abdominal pain can be from abdominal wall or intra-abdominal organs. Intra-abdominal pain is not an abdominal wall pain. The abdomen is the section of body between chest and pelvis. Intensity of intra-abdominal pain is mild to severe and duration can be short (acute) or long (chronic). Some intra-abdominal pain may be present for days, weeks or months.
The average well is up to 8,000 feet deep. The depth of drinking water aquifers is about 1,000 feet. The problems typically stem from poor cement well casings that leak natural gas as well as fracking fluid into water wells.
Whether fracking can continue spreading without major harm to the environment or public health, and whether it promises to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, are questions researchers are still working to answer. Fracking is a process for extracting natural gas from shale layers typically thousands of feet deep. These targeted shales arenât especially permeable, meaning most of the gas is trapped. So drillers blast the rock layers with highly pressurized water containing chemicals that reduce friction between water and rock.
