Sentence examples for slick water from inspiring English sources

Something called "slick water" was the first substance poured in.

Fracking had been used for decades, but in the late nineties, after years of experimenting with variants of the process, a Texas wildcatter named George Mitchell discovered that a combination of sand and water (known as "high-volume slick water hydrofracturing") was cheaper and more effective than previous methods, which relied on other, heavier fluids.

Slick water hydraulic fracturing and proppant placement is the most spread stimulating technology for this type of reservoirs.

A field example involving both slick water and crosslinked gel treatment is simulated using the complex fracture model and the results are compared to the microseismic monitoring.

The fracturing design involves pumping low viscosity fluid with low proppant concentrations at high pump rate, commonly known as "slick water fracturing".
