The Global South’s Technological Landscape: Challenges and Opportunities
1. Fracking in the Global South
Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is a method of extracting oil and gas from shale formations. It involves injecting fluids horizontally into the shale using complex and expensive equipment like high - pressure pumps, along with proppants or ceramics.
In some Global South countries where abundant oil and gas can still be obtained through conventional drilling, starting fracking may not be cost - effective. However, in emerging and least industrialized countries with declining reserves or difficult geology, fracking should be seriously considered. Other motivating factors include the presence of shale formations where trapped oil and gas can’t be ea
