Fracking in South Africa is an energy production strategy at early stages of development using high-pressure drilling techniques to release natural gas trapped in shale rock. After initially imposing a moratorium on fracking in April 2011, the South African government lifted the moratorium in September 2012 after an initial investigation by an ...
Hydraulic fracturing: Through its subsidiary BJSP (Algerian Company for the Stimulation of Hydrocarbon Producing Wells), in partnership with a multinational company, ENSP conducts hydraulic fracturing operations in oil reservoirs. This technique aims to enhance well productivity by creating fractures in the reservoir rock to facilitate ...
This may be done by injecting fluids at high pressure (hydraulic fracturing), injecting fluids laced with round granular material (proppant fracturing), or using explosives to generate a high pressure and high speed gas flow (TNT or PETN up to 1,900,000 psi (13,000,000 kPa) ) and (propellant stimulation up to 4,000 psi (28,000 kPa) ).
The karoo, famous for the quality of its lamb, is an arid region that it is largely reliant on underground water for agriculture and drinking supplies. Organisations in South Africa that oppose fracking include Earthlife Africa [75] Greenpeace, CASABIO, The Home of Biodiversity, [76] The Wildlife and Environment Society of South Africa (WESSA ...

Hydraulic fracturing [a] is a well stimulation technique involving the fracturing of formations in bedrock by a pressurized liquid. The process involves the high-pressure injection of "fracking fluid" (primarily water, containing sand or other proppants suspended with the aid of thickening agents) into a wellbore to create cracks in the deep rock formations through which natural gas, petroleum ...
