Statement of Intent


1. My goals for my capstone project are to inform people about the process of extracting natural gas from the earth. I want to explore new and improved ways to extract this natural gas efficiently and effectively and so that gas prices go down. Also to show the effects of fracking and how it affects the natural environment.

2. This is important because natural gas is not a renewable resource and society will eventually run out and it is important because the way that natural gas is being extracted today is not that beneficial to the environment.

3. These goals fit with my career because I want to become a petroleum engineer and I want to come up with new ways to extract natural gas from the earth efficiently and effectively without causing harm to the environment.

4. My project gives back to society because it informs the general public about the basics of extracting oil and the effects it has on society.

5. The Richland triple bottom line is people, economics, and environment. The people I am mainly targeting are young and middle aged adults. Economic wise, I am trying to lower gas prices and decrease the destruction of the natural environment.
