Unconventional oil and gas are trapped in rock formations that have low permeability. Pathways must be created to permit the passage of oil and gas through the rocks and into the well, enabling it to be pumped to the surface. Hydraulic fracturing is commonly employed for creating these pathways. Hydraulic fracturing is a well stimulation method in which a fluid (mainly a mixture of water, sand, and chemicals) is pumped at high pressure to create fractures in the rock, thereby allowing oil and gas to move toward the well from deep reserves.
