Debunking myths #16
• Fracking does NOT create giant underground caves
• Hydraulic fractures are only millimeters wide
• Fractures grow in controlled, engineered directions
• Growth depends on in-situ stress & rock mechanics
• Pumping rate & fluid design control fracture behavior
• It’s precision engineering — not random explosions
•Designed to enhance permeability & boost recovery
• Science + monitoring = controlled stimulation.
