  2. 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 ...

    Diagram of Hydraulic Fracking Machinery and Process Increases in seismic activity following hydraulic fracturing along dormant or previously unknown faults are sometimes caused by the deep-injection disposal of hydraulic fracturing flowback (a byproduct of hydraulically fractured wells), [31] and produced formation brine (a byproduct of both ...

  4. Fracking in the United States - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracking_in_the_United_States

    Environmental Protection Agency illustration of the water cycle of hydraulic fracturing. Fracking in the United States began in 1949. [1] According to the Department of Energy (DOE), by 2013 at least two million oil and gas wells in the US had been hydraulically fractured, and that of new wells being drilled, up to 95% are hydraulically fractured.

  5. Fracking and radionuclides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracking_and_radionuclides

    Hydraulic fracturing is the propagation of fractures in a rock layer by pressurized fluid. Induced hydraulic fracturing or hydrofracking, commonly known as fracking, is a technique used to release petroleum, natural gas (including shale gas, tight gas and coal seam gas), or other substances for extraction, particularly from unconventional reservoirs. [1]

  6. Radioactive tracer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_tracer

    Radioactive tracers are also used to determine the location of fractures created by hydraulic fracturing in natural gas production. [2] Radioactive tracers form the basis of a variety of imaging systems, such as, PET scans, SPECT scans and technetium scans. Radiocarbon dating uses the naturally occurring carbon-14 isotope as an isotopic label.

  7. Fracture (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture_(geology)

    B) Hydraulic fracturing: tension or compression is applied far away from the crack and fluid pressure increases, causing tension on the face of the cracks. C) Brazilian disc test: applied compressive loads parallel to the crack cause the sides of the disk to bulge out and tension to occur on the crack faces.

  8. List of additives used for fracking - Wikipedia

    In the US, about 750 compounds have been listed as additives for hydraulic fracturing, also known as ingredients of pressurized fracking fluid, [9] in an industry report to the US Congress in 2011 [10] [11] The following is a partial list of the chemical constituents in additives that are used or may have been used in fracturing operations. [12]
