Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a technique designed to recover gas and oil from shale rock. Fracking is the process of injecting liquid at high pressure into subterranean rocks, boreholes, etc., so as to force open existing fissures and extract oil or gas. This technique is widely used in the United States to extract oil and gas.
