What does FRACK mean in Scrabble?
verb
technical
To extract oil or natural gas from underground rock by injecting high-pressure liquid to open existing cracks and release it.
To frack a well is to pump water, sand, and chemicals down a borehole at high pressure so that the rock below fractures and releases trapped oil or gas. The technique, short for hydraulic fracturing, expanded rapidly in the early twenty-first century and turned frack from a specialist term into common news vocabulary. It is used both for the technical process itself and, more broadly, for the industry built around it.
