Record 1 2021-07-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Oil Drilling
CONT

A hydraulic fracture is formed by pumping the fracturing fluid into the wellbore at a rate sufficient to increase the pressure downhole to a value in excess of the fracture gradient of the formation rock. The pressure causes the formation to crack, allowing the fracturing fluid to enter and extend the crack farther into the formation. To keep this fracture open after the injection stops, a solid proppant, commonly a sieved round sand, is added to the fracture fluid. The propped hydraulic fracture then becomes a high permeability conduit through which the formation fluids can flow to the well.

Record 4 2003-03-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Space Physics
CONT

As these field lines move through the star's crust they should greatly heat it, consequently producing a lot of strain. Eventually this strain should cause the crust to crack, releasing a surge of magnetic energy which would interact with the tenuous particle atmosphere and produce copious soft gamma rays.
