Hydraulic fracturing (energy extraction) was invented by Floyd Farris and Joseph Clark (Stanolind Oil and Gas Corporation) in 1947 for the mining industry, but the modern horizontal
fracking technique, which made the extraction of shale gas economical, was first used in 1998 in the Barnett Shale in Texas. The energy from the injection of a highly pressurized fracking fluid creates new channels in the rock, which can
increase the extraction rates and optimal
recovery of hydrocarbons. |
