Hydraulic fracturing
–
Hydraulic fracturing is a well stimulation technique in which rock is fractured by a pressurized liquid. The process involves the injection of fracking fluid into a wellbore to create cracks in the deep-rock formations through which natural gas, petroleum. When the hydraulic pressure is removed from the well, small grains of hydraulic fracturing proppants hold the fractures open, Hydraulic fracturing began as an experiment in 1947, and the first commercially successful application followed in 1950. As of 2012,2.5 million frac jobs had been performed worldwide on oil and gas wells, such treatment is generally necessary to achieve adequate flow rates in shale gas, tight gas, tight oil, and coal seam gas wells. Some hydraulic fractures can form naturally in certain veins or dikes, Hydraulic fracturing is highly controversial in many countries. Its proponents advocate the benefits of more extensively accessible hydrocarbons. For these reasons, hydraulic fracturing is under scrutiny, restricted in some countries. The European Union is drafting regulations that would permit the application of hydraulic fracturing. Fracturing rocks at great depth frequently becomes suppressed by pressure due to the weight of the rock strata. This suppression process is significant in tensile fractures which require the walls of the fracture to move against this pressure. Fracturing occurs when stress is overcome by the pressure of fluids within the rock. The minimum principal stress becomes tensile and exceeds the strength of the material. In natural examples, such as dikes or vein-filled fractures, the orientations can be used to infer past states of stress, most mineral vein systems are a result of repeated natural fracturing during periods of relatively high pore fluid pressure. One example of repeated natural fracturing is in the effects of seismic activity. Stress levels rise and fall episodically, and earthquakes can cause large volumes of water to be expelled from fluid-filled fractures. This process is referred to as seismic pumping, minor intrusions in the upper part of the crust, such as dikes, propagate in the form of fluid-filled cracks. In such cases, the fluid is magma, in sedimentary rocks with a significant water content, fluid at fracture tip will be steam. Fracturing as a method to stimulate shallow, hard rock oil wells dates back to the 1860s, dynamite or nitroglycerin detonations were used to increase oil and natural gas production from petroleum bearing formations
