Fracture orientation. Hydraulic fractures are formed in the direction perpendicular to the least stress. Based on experience, horizontal fractures will occur at depths less than approximately 2000 ft. because the Earthâs overburden at these depths provides the least principal stress.
Horizontal hydraulic fracturing, also known as âfracking,â is the use of high pressure to inject water mixed with sand and chemicals into deep shale rock formations, fracturing the rock and releasing the oil and gas inside.racking can pose risks to the environment from groundwater contamination to large fresh water withdrawals, as well as release of radioactive materials into the air and water. Shale gas waste streams include brine, black shales, flowback fluid, and drilling muds.
