Question
Chapter 5, Problem 2CO
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
To describe the process of hydraulic fracturing for the recovery of natural gas.
Concept introduction:
The process of production of “unconventional” gas from rock beds is called hydraulic fracturing. This method is cost-effective because of the gases diffuses in the rock, instead of being present in the concentrated regions.
