What is hydraulic fracturing?

Hydraulic fracturing is a well-stimulation technique used to increase oil and gas production from shale formations by injecting high-pressure fluid into the rock to create fractures, allowing the hydrocarbons to flow more easily toward the wellbore.

Hydraulic fracturing has played a significant role in the petroleum industry by unlocking previously inaccessible unconventional oil and gas reserves and contributing to increased domestic hydrocarbon production.
