eli5 Why is Fracking fluid returned to the hole after extracting the resources?
In: 11
NG wells are perforated (directional explosion) then filled with sand to become a passage way for the gas. Pushing the sand with pressure behind it also opens up the perforated holes allowing sand to fill most everything up. Btw that sand I’m mentioning is synthetic making each individual particular uniform, to allow ease of movement for whatever gas is being extracted.
Source = ran a cement pump for years, and occasionally got sucked into frac work when things were slow or very busy.
