PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES
HYDRAULIC FRACTURING
The
well is drilled
The casing is cemented in the well
Fractures are created using perforating guns
Fracturing fluid is pumped into the fractures
causing them to expand and branch out.
Fracturing Fluid is pumped out and the natural
gas is allowed to flow through the well bore.
