Slick water refers to a specific type of hydraulic fracturing fluid used in oil and gas extraction, particularly in shale formations. It consists primarily of water mixed with small amounts of additives to reduce friction, enhance fluid flow, and improve the efficiency of the fracturing process. The term emphasizes the fluid's low viscosity, which allows it to move easily through the rock formations, facilitating the release of oil or gas.
