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 ...
Gasland is a 2010 American documentary film written and directed by Josh Fox.It focuses on communities in the United States where natural gas drilling activity was a concern and, specifically, on hydraulic fracturing ("fracking"), a method of stimulating production in otherwise impermeable rock.
FrackNation is a feature documentary created by Phelim McAleer, Ann McElhinnery, and Magdalena Segieda.The film, released in 2013, claims to address alleged misinformation from environmentalists about the process of hydraulic fracturing, commonly called fracking.
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.

Drilling and hydraulic fracturing have made the United States a major crude oil exporter as of 2019, [11] but leakage of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, has dramatically increased. [ 12 ] [ 13 ] Increased oil and gas production from the decade-long fracking boom has led to lower prices for consumers, with near-record lows of the share of ...

Hydraulic fracturing (fracking) requires increasing the interconnectedness of the pore space (in other words, permeability) of shale to allow the gas to flow through the rock, and very small deliberately induced seismic activity of magnitudes smaller than 1 are applied to enhance rock permeability.
