COVER Natural gas extracted from a deep shale formation by hydraulic fracturing («fracking») technology burns at a well in Bradford County, Pennsylvania.
The results come as a natural - gas boom hits the United States, driven by a technology known as hydraulic fracturing, or «fracking», that can crack open hard shale formations and release the natural gas trapped inside.
Falcon and the others are attempting an engineering exercise of trying to get known resources to flow out of low permeability rocks by transferring modern high volume hydraulic fracturing technology from the U.S.
«Recent U.S. production growth has centered largely in a few key regions and has been driven by advances in the application of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technologies.»
Over the past several years, vast caches of natural gas trapped in deeply buried rock have been made accessible by advances in two key technologies: horizontal drilling, which allows vertical wells to turn and snake more than a mile sideways through the earth, and hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.
