Hydraulic fracturing and well stimulation

Hydraulic fracturing (or "fracking") has been a source of both achievement and controversy for years, and it continues to be a hot-button issue all over the world.' It has made the United States an energy exporting country once again and kept the price of gasoline low, for consumers a...
