Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, refers to an oil and gas well drilling process used for extracting petroleum or natural gas and creating new fractures in low-permeability rocks, such as sandstone, shale and coal, for enhancing the oil and gas flow. It involves injecting high-pressure water, sand and chemicals into the bedrock formation of the well. Hydraulic fracturing commonly utilizes plug and perf and sliding sleeve technologies that involves the stimulation of wells with cemented liners and shutting off of flow from one or more reservoir zones to regulate pressure between the extraction zones. The wells are drilled in horizontal and directional sections using proppants, such as sand, ceramic pellets and small incompressible particles. Hydraulic fracturing aids in improving the access to oil and gas resources and minimizing the amount of pollution particles in the air.
Hydraulic Fracturing Market Trends:
A significant increase in the onshore and offshore oil and gas exploration activities is one of the key factors driving the market growth. Hydraulic fracturing is widely used for the redevelopment of oil fields, well base expansion and exploring new offshore projects for the extraction of natural gas and crude oil. Moreover, the rising demand for energy across both developed and emerging nations is providing a thrust to the market growth. Hydraulic fracturing is widely utilized for the exploration of highly impermeable shale reservoirs and optimization of oil production. In line with this, the increasing adoption of plug and perf technology for vertical and horizontal wells is also contributing to the growth of the market. Additionally, the development of foam-based and waterless fracking technologies is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Foam offers high viscosity and low liquid content that aids in minimizing water utilization and reducing the impact on the environment. Other factors, including the development of cost-effective fine mesh frac sand, along with the implementation of favorable policies regarding sustainable development, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
