Additional environmental concerns stem from the technology’s implications for water resources. Hydraulic fracturing of a single horizontal well can involve injection of millions of gallons of a 98% ...

Like fracking, horizontal drilling was invented decades ... was that the fractures that allowed oil and gas to reach the well bore could also allow oil, gas, and chemicals to seep into the water ...

ExxonMobil has increased its presence in the Permian Basin and is using new tech to boost its fracking efficiency.

Cementing in horizontal wells in some unconventional reservoirs could also make fracturing difficult by forcing fracture treatments to be pumped through perforations. With the introduction of non ...

conducted a 30-stage hydraulic fracturing (FRACKING) using Plug and Perf technology at a new horizontal well of the Priobskoye field. This made it possible to increase the launch flow rate of oil by 2 ...

Using techniques borrowed from the oil and gas sector, parallel wells (one up, one down) are drilled and rock permeability is achieved using horizontal fracturing techniques, which connect pairs ...
