I do not condone the creation of new fracking wells or more oil and gas extraction. However we could use old dried up wells and mines for green energy. Also it’ll get more eyes on methane seeps and wells so we can stop the release of unburnt methane into the atmosphere
Likely not due to no need for high pressure liquid being injected into boundary layers.

However dried up fracking wells could very well be filled with ambient pressure water and used as a thermal sync for hydrothermal energy.

Very cool, thanks for the links as well!
