Sommario/riassunto

Hydraulic fracturing, commonly referred to as"fracking," is a technique used by the oil and gasindustry to mine hydrocarbons trapped deep beneath theEarth's surface. The principles underlying the technology arenot new. Fracking was first applied at the commercial level in theUnited States as early as 1947, and over the decades it has beenapplied in various countries including Canada, the UK, and Russia.The author worked with engineering teams as early as the mid-1970sin evaluating ways to improve oil recovery from this practice.     By and large fracking was not an economically competitivepro
