Hydraulic
Fracturing, also known as Fracking,
Fraccing, Hydrofracking, Hydrofracturing is a stimulation technique used to
extract oil and gas from shale rocks. A large volume of hydraulically mixed
liquid made of water, sand and chemical additives, is pumped down the wellbore
into the reservoir formations at high pressures. This process results in small
fractures, allowing the oil and gas trapped in the rock to flow back to the
surface. The hydraulic fluid pumped into the wellbore consists of small quantities
of chemical additives (0.8%) and large quantities of water and sand (99.2%).
Hydraulic fracturing service cost varies from well to well,
depending on the number of fracturing stages and the depth of wells. Further,
the costs associated with procuring water and sand plays a major role in
deciding the fracturing service cost per well in each region.
