Discussion fracking yes fracking does not have a new stage. The company Schupbach Energy Uruguay submitted a summary environmental report to the National Environment Directorate (Dinama) to obtain the prior environmental authorization for its project, which consists of the drilling of four on-shore exploratory wells to determine the potential existence of Hydrocarbons in the departments of Salto, Tacuarembó and Paysandú.
The initiative has generated all sorts of fears from the people of the region who mobilized against the possibility of using the fracking technique (massive hydraulic fracturing) that allows to extend the possibilities of extraction of oil and gas to generating rocks in Its early phase. Now, while in the report the company made it clear that "the type of conventional target being explored does not require the use of this technology," the activists do not believe it and expect to present to Dinama objections to the convening of public hearings .
One of the highlights of the speech by the mining activists is that Petrel, the 51% owner of Schupbach Energy, issued its fourth quarter report to investors and stated that it "targets conventional and non-conventional oil targets. Conventional in the concessions of Piedra Sola and Salto ".
The conventional objectives involve the search for oil and gas that was encapsulated in dry rocks as a result of their evolution. The unconventional refer to the generator rocks at an early stage where the oil or gas has not yet migrated to those capsules. In these cases for extraction, the fracking technique is required.
"They are hiding what they are going to do, saying that they are only looking for non-conventional," he told El País Víctor Bacchetta, a member of the Uruguayan Free Movement of Megaminería, who added that Petrel's statement also states that "the other well in Salto's permit, Panizza-1 is not only directed to a very large structure with considerable potential for oil and gas in multiple areas, but also has a large and dense section of the Devonian, possibly complete, with schist and development of the reservoir's potentially ideal " .
According to Bacchetta "this evidence confirms our previous assumption that the drilling project contains unconventional objectives that are not admitted to the public presentations and the same environmental report" presented by the company.
On February 14, the deadline for submitting comments to the statement made by the company before Dinama is over. Based on this, the Uruguay Free movement and activists from Tacuarembó, Paysandú and Piedra Sola will present two technical reports to Dinama, one with an Argentine expert, and another legal one criticizing that the company's document questions the departmental decision of Salto and Paysandú that "Are in force because they were not appealed," Bacchetta said. "We want to present it earlier to request that public hearings be called," he added.
In Paysandú, Salto, Tacuarembó and Rocha, departmental decrees have been issued expressly prohibiting fracking. In the report, precisely, alludes to these decrees. "From the legal point of view, Parliament has expressed itself in relation to the unconstitutionality of enacting bans by the Departmental Boards on technologies of use in the oil sector, when issuing a resolution on a similar decree prohibiting the fracking generated by The Departmental Board of Tacuarembó ... The resolution is also protected in Judgment No. 27.193 of October 23, 2013 of the Electoral Court, which fails to result in the popular campaign of signatures campaign to request the Departmental Board Approval of a decree prohibiting open-pit metal mining in the territory of Tacuarembó, under similar legal considerations, "he says.
PROSPECTION OF HYDROCARBONS.
It is planned to drill 4 wells.
The four wells to be realized will be located in Cuchilla of the Pampa, Tacuarembó, with an estimated depth in 370 meters; In Cerro Padilla, Paysandú, with 815 meters; In Cerro de Chaga (1,400 meters) and Cañada Fea (1,400 meters) in Salto. "The location of the exploratory wells is based on the results obtained through the 2D seismic realized in the Blocks Salto and Piedra Sola, that identified a set of areas of favorability of accumulation of hydrocarbons, explains the report. The company anticipated this January to be starting the activities. The project consists of different phases. First the preparation that covers the mobilization of equipment, the construction with the assembly of the installations for the perforations. Then the operation phase is the execution of the drilling and the handling of sludge, as well as the production tests in case of being a well discovering hydrocarbons. The next phase is the closure of the well and retirement of the infrastructure. The idea is to start with the Pampa Blade. In total, the company estimates that the activities will involve between three and five weeks with a 24-hour work divided by shifts for each of the drillings "with the objective being to have the four wells drilled at the time of the conclusion of the exploration contract between SEU and Ancap In May 2017, "something that is almost a fact that will not materialize.

An unacceptable verbal incontinence
But the fault is also ours, because there is no government or an abstraction of "State" that makes us citizens. We have to be and exercise that quality by deciding, demanding and assuming our obligations before falling into the category of subjects.
