Hydrofracking

Hydrofracking was originally developed in the oil drilling industry. Today, hydrofracking is used in the water well drilling industry as a well development process.

Hydrofracking is done on a new or existing well, one with a very low well yield or no yield at all. Hydrofracking involves installing an inflatable packer at a depth below the well casing. The packer is then inflated so it is stable in the desired frack zone. Water is then forced into the rock formation under high pressure. The water then goes out of the fractures of the rock formation. This enlarges and cleans the rock fracture allowing more water to return to the well, resulting in a higher well yield.

Hydrofracking is not a guarantee, although we do have an average success rate of 95% for increasing the water yield.
