Fracturing Fluid

Fracturing fluid is a specially designed liquid mixture used in hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," to enhance the extraction of oil and natural gas from underground rock formations. It typically consists of water, proppants (like sand), and chemical additives. The fluid is injected at high pressure to create small cracks in the rock, allowing hydrocarbons to flow more freely to the wellbore. Afterward, the fluid's chemicals and some of the water are recovered or treated. Overall, fracturing fluid plays a crucial role in efficiently accessing underground energy resources while maintaining environmental and operational safety.
