CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] The present patent application is based upon and claims the benefit of provisional patent application No. 62 / 106,668, filed on Jan. 22, 2015BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Hydraulic fracturing (also hydrofracturing, hydrofracking, fracking or fraccing), is a well-stimulation technique in which rock is fractured by a hydraulically pressurized liquid made of water, sand, and chemicals. Some hydraulic fractures form naturally—certain veins or dikes are examples. A high-pressure fluid (usually chemicals and sand suspended in water) is injected into a wellbore to create cracks in the deep-rock formations through which natural gas, petroleum, and brine will flow more freely. When the hydraulic pressure is removed from the well, small grains of hydraulic fracturing proppants (either sand or aluminum oxide) hold the fractures open. Traditionally, the fracking fluid (including proppants) is delivered to the well with powerful and expensive recipro...
