Here's how fracking ACTUALLY works #oilandgas #realestate

Fracking is where liquids are injected down into the wellbore, which is the drilled hole to create cracks in the rock. The cracks in that rock let the oil and the natural gas flow through. And this is usually a pretty quick process, and it only takes a few days. Now, once the wells are fracked, completion happens. And some wells have enough pressure in them to allow the oil to flow on their own. But sometimes lifts or pump jacks are installed to help bring that oil out. This is also a pretty quick process. And so once they get those things installed, next thing you know, your, your wells are online and producing.
