What is fracking with oil wells?
Fracking is when a high pressure solution of water, acids, etc. is injected deep into a drill hole (usually horizontally drilled not vertically drilled) with the intention of causing fracturing of the rock layers around the hole, allowing trapped oil and gas to escape from that rock and collect in the drill hole. This causes a significant increase in well production and in many cases can transform a "worked out" field of dry wells into a valuable actively producing field again. Unfortunately sometimes the fractures enter aquifers polluting the water in wells depending on that aquifer.
