How are oil and gas extracted in the hydraulic fracturing process?
A)Injection of high-pressure fracking fluids increases the permeability of the rock and allows oil and gas to move into the well.
B)Injection of high-pressure fracking fluids forces low-pressure oil and gas to the surface.
C)Horizontal wells are drilled, and the oil and gas is pumped out.
D)Injection of low-pressure fracking fluids enlarges pore spaces allowing the oil and gas to be pumped out.
