Hydraulic fracturing process,artwork
Hydraulic fracturing (fracking) process. Artwork of the final two stages,where rock layers are fractured by fluids pumped in from the surface. At top is a jet perforation gun punching holes with explosive charges into shale bedrock. At bottom,high-pressure water,sand and chemicals force the rock apart to release oil or gas,which is then pumped to the surface (arrows). The sand keeps the fissures open. These stages are preceded by a drilling stage to access the shale,and a casing stage to line the bore hole. Fracking is known to cause small earthquakes (microseismic events). For the first two stages,see image C015/0968. For an overview see image C015/0327
