Polymer Gel Fracturing

Polymer gel fracturing is a technique used in the oil and gas industry to enhance the extraction of resources from underground rock formations. It involves injecting a thickened liquid made from polymers into these formations, where it expands and creates fractures. This increases the flow of oil or gas to the well. The gel helps to control where the fractures occur, making the process more efficient. This method is beneficial because it can minimize environmental impact and improve the recovery of fossil fuels from challenging geological settings.
