View Oil Fracking Machine Background. Fracking is the key to unlocking vast u.s. (tight oil refers to oil from shale formations that require horizontal drilling and fracking.) much of the technological discussion at that panel centered on replacing humans with automation.
Hydraulic fracturing, also called fracking, fracing, hydrofracking, fraccing, frac'ing, and hydrofracturing, is a well stimulation technique involving the fracturing of bedrock formations by a pressurized liquid.
In the united states it has significantly boosted domestic oil production and driven down gas prices.
