Hydraulic fracturing expected to dominate the pressure pumping
market holding more than 70% of the total market share in 2016
Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a process in which water, sand and
chemicals are pumped underground to break apart the rock and release
the gas. In past decades, an extensive use of hydraulic fracturing has
been noticed in the North American countries. Fracking is is highly
effective, efficient and productive method for reaching deep and difficult
to reach zones below the earth’s crust. According to the statistics
revealed by U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), nearly 50%
of the total oil wells in the U.S. are hydraulically fractured
