Which describes the process of injecting fluids into cracks of the rocks to recover oil deposits drilling restoring cementing fracking
1 answer
The process of injecting fluids into cracks of the rocks to recover oil deposits is known as hydraulic fracturing or fracking. It typically involves drilling a wellbore into the subsurface and then injecting a fluid mixture (composed of water, sand, and chemicals) at high pressure to create fractures in the rock formations. These fractures allow the trapped oil or natural gas to flow more freely and be extracted from the reservoir. After the fracturing process, cementing is carried out to secure the wellbore and prevent leakage.
