The Complete Guide to Hydraulic Fracing | Pontotoc Sand
Hydraulic fracturing is a well-generation process that increases gas and oil production. Fracing processes are performed to increase the flow of fluids in wells and holes with low permeability, like sandstone and shale formations. New fractures are created within rock throughout the process so gas and oil components can flow freely.

'Wet Sand' Offers Multiple Benefits
The drying of frac sand and the transportation of that sand to the well site from 65 miles away on a 10,000-ton well emits an estimated 405 metric tons of CO 2 into the atmosphere. Running wet sand from a hyperlocal mine emits only ~4% of that number (Figure 3). The combination of eliminating the drying process and reducing miles leads to a ...
