Hydraulic Fracturing:
A technological alternative for insuring the success ratio of bringing home a new rejuvenated well, with maximum efficiency that has proven very effective within the industry.
C. S. Garber and Sons, Inc. introduced Hydraulic Fracturing in May of 1987. Since then we have successfully hydro-fracked in excess of 600 wells. Based on actual results, the process has proven to be 98% effective.
Description:
Hydraulic Fracturing is a process by which water is injected under extreme pressure into a well to improve its production capabilities. First developed in the oil fields, the process was primarly designed to increase oil production. Recently through extensive engineering and technological efforts, the process has been modified to accommodate the domestic well needs.
Packer:
After the necessary equipment is moved into position, the packer is inserted down the bore hole on the end of a pipe string toa predetermined depth. The packer is then expanded and anchored to the wall of the bore hole. Water is forced under extreame pressure into the cavity of the well, cleaning out the fractures and allowing existing water in the perimeter to flow freely into the well bore.
The Pump:
The Frack pump must have the ability to develop high pressure and high volume. High pressure is needed to initiate the hydraulic fracturing process. Once the initial break takes place, the pressure will drop. High volume is the needed to continue the action initiated by high pressure spike.
Completion:
When the water source is exhausted the fracking process is complete. The packer is released and withdrawn from the bore hole and the application is complete.
