Progress on the hydraulic measures for grid slotting and fracking to enhance coal seam permeability
International Journal of Mining Science and Technology, 2017 A method of hydraulic grid slotting and hydraulic fracturing was proposed to enhance the permeability of low permeability coal seam in China. Micro-structural development and strength characteristics of coal were analysed to set up the failure criterion ...

Fracking bad language – hydraulic fracturing and earthquake risks [PDF]
Geoscience Communication, 2021 Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a borehole stimulation technique used to enhance permeability in geological resource management, including the extraction of shale gas. The process of hydraulic fracturing can induce seismicity.

Effect of Providing Information on Students’ Knowledge and Concerns about Hydraulic Fracking [PDF]
Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part A, 2015 Governmental agencies, regulators, health professionals, and the public are faced with understanding and responding to new development practices and conditions in their local and regional environment. While hydraulic fracking (fracking) for shale gas has been practiced for over 50 years in some states, it is a relatively recent event in the ...
