Steps in the Fracking Process
Step 6: Once the drilling gets about 500 feet above the shale formation, a downhole drilling motor with sophisticated measuring instruments begins the angle drilling creating a new horizontal path into the shale formation.

Step 4: The cement and casing are then pressure tested to ensure hydrocarbons and other fluids don’t seep out.

Step 3: Cement is then poured into this tubing throughout, displacing any remaining fluids and securing the casing in place.

Step 2: The drill pipe and bit are removed and a steel “surface casing” tube is inserted into the well which stabilizes the well sides, creating a barrier.

Step 1: Vertical well begins to be drilled with a drill pipe and drill bit past the ground water level a few thousand feet down.

Step 5: Both the drill pipe and drill bit are put back into the well and the drilling continues. Another layer of casing and cement is added for a second permanent behavior. The whole vertical drilling process costs about $663,000
