Located in close proximity to the major industrial hubs on the US East Coast, Marcellus and Utica shale plays in the Appalachian basin have witnessed steady natural gas production growth over the last five-six years. Like the marriage of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling by Mitchell Energy in the late 1990s, E-Frac weds two longstanding oilfield technologies to create an innovative solution. The fact Petroleum reservoir fracturing is set for a major improvement with new technologies going to work miles down from the surface and then out horizontally. Called fracking, the process uses pressure to break into oil and natural gas rocks and prop channels for the petroleum products to flow back out.

Called fracking, the process uses pressure to break into oil and natural gas rocks and prop channels for the petroleum products to flow back out. The US is the global leader in fracking, accounting for half of US output across over 300,000 wells. Significant shale oil and gas reserves have been identified in Russia, China, and Argentina – and all three nations have shown a willingness to embrace the process. Hydraulic fracturing is a technique in which large volumes of water and sand, and small volumes of chemical additives are injected into low-permeability subsurface formations to increase oil or natural gas flow. The injection pressure of the pumped fluid creates fractures that enhance gas and fluid flow, and the sand or other coarse material holds the fractures open. The evolution of technologies for fracturing geologic formations to increase oil and natural gas production. Ever since America’s earliest oil discoveries, detonating dynamite or nitroglycerin down-hole helped increase a well’s production.

Fracking is letting the U.S. tap vast oil and natural gas reserves that previously were locked away in shale and other tight-rock formations. Up to 95 percent of natural gas wells drilled in the next decade will require hydraulic fracturing. Hydraulic fracturing also is being used to stimulate new production from older wells.

Hydraulic fracturing is a technique in which large volumes of water and sand, and small volumes of chemical additives are injected into low-permeability subsurface formations to increase oil or natural gas flow. The injection pressure of the pumped fluid creates fractures that enhance gas and fluid flow, and the sand or other coarse material holds the fractures open.

Shooters – A “Fracking” History. Petroleum Technology. The evolution of technologies for fracturing geologic formations to increase oil and natural gas production. Ever since America’s earliest oil discoveries, detonating dynamite or nitroglycerin down-hole helped increase a well’s production. The technology – commonly used in oilfields for almost a century – would be greatly Hydraulic fracturing is a method to enhance oil and natural gas extraction from underground geological formations involving injection of a fluid under high pressure in order to crack the rock containing the hydrocarbon. While the method is not new, its use has surged since being combined with horizontal drilling technology in the late 20 th Laredo Petroleum, a leading independent unconventional oil and gas producer, has acquired the first license to GTI’s PerfExtra® hydraulic fracturing technology. Laredo hosted and served as operator for GTI’s Hydraulic Fracturing Test Site in the Permian Basin in Texas. Laredo first used PerfExtra® in cooperation with GTI on a well at that Microwave fracking is an oil production technology developed by QMast LLC and announced in 2017 as a new way to harvest petroleum units from oil shale. Scientists and oil companies alike believe that microwave fracking could be “the next big thing” since hydraulic fracturing became widely used, which presents some exciting possibilities for Hydraulic fracturing, informally referred to as “fracking,” is an oil and gas well development process that typically involves injecting water, sand, and chemicals under high pressure into a bedrock formation via the well. This process is intended to create new fractures in the rock as well as increase the size, extent, and connectivity of existing fractures.
