Question

How are oil and gas extracted in the hydraulic fracturing process?

Injection of high-pressure fracking fluids increases the permeability of the rock and allows oil and gas to move into the well.

Horizontal wells are drilled, and the oil and gas is pumped out.

Injections of fracking fluid are used to generate small earthquakes, which shake oil and gas to the surface.

Injection of low-pressure fracking fluids enlarges pore spaces allowing the oil and gas to be pumped out.

Injection of high-pressure fracking fluids forces low-pressure oil and gas to the surface.

option a is the right answer

water pressure is used to create the fissures in the deep underground shale formation tha allows oil and natural gas to flow.
