Fracking is essential for the production of natural gas and oil from shale formations, and with advances in fracking technology, it is becoming easier and more accessible to access natural gas.
Swabbing Unit. Swabbing is a process to remove liquids from the production zone of a gas or oil well. Gas and oil wells produce fluid over the life of a well. When a well is first drilled it is usually Fracked to help open production zones. Fracking can include water. After fracking the liquids are recovered by swabbing the well. As liquids are lifted to relieve the hydrostatic weight from the producing formation the bottom-hole pressure pushes the gas and/or oil up and out of the well.
