This environmental video essay provides a brief explanation and overview of fracking. Specifically, I look at how fracking works, why it's become so prevalent in the last 15 years, and why there's ...

Hydraulic fracturing (fracking) increases oilfield productivity by creating high-conductivity flow paths that connect low-permeability rock to the wellbore, reduce near-wellbore damage (skin), and ...

Hydraulic fracturing (fracking) increases well deliverability and ultimate recovery by creating high-conductivity flow paths from the reservoir to the wellbore. It sits in the upstream value chain ...
