  3. Fracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracking

    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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_well

    A schematic of a typical oil well being produced by a pumpjack, which is used to produce the remaining recoverable oil after natural pressure is no longer sufficient to raise oil to the surface The production stage is the most important stage of a well's life: when the oil and gas are produced.

  7. Water injection (oil production) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_injection_(oil...

    In the oil industry, waterflooding or water injection is where water is injected into the oil reservoir, to maintain the pressure (also known as voidage replacement), or to drive oil towards the wells, and thereby increase production. Water injection wells may be located on- and offshore, to increase oil recovery from an existing reservoir.

  8. Oil well control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_well_control

    Secondary oil well control is done after the Primary oil well control has failed to prevent formation fluids from entering the wellbore. This process uses "blow out preventer", a BOP, to prevent the escape of wellbore fluids from the well. As the rams and choke of the BOP remain closed, a pressure built up test is carried out and a kill mud ...
