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 ...
This is a list of oilfield service companies – which provide services to the petroleum exploration and production industry but do not typically produce petroleum. In the list, notable subsidiary companies and divisions are listed as sub-lists of their current parent companies.
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 ...

[2] The company provides technical equipment and services used for drilling, evaluation, completion, production, and intervention on gas and oil ...
Hydraulic fracturing (fracking) and acidizing are two of the most common methods for well stimulation. These well stimulation techniques help create pathways for oil or gas to flow more easily, ultimately increasing the overall production of the well. [1] Well stimulation can be performed on an oil or gas well located onshore or offshore.
