It universallyexists that injectedpressureis high in a long time, injected water volume is low, the difference of injected pressure of each well is very largeduring oilfield development.
About 25, 000 wells a year are being fracked, a process in which water, chemicals and sand are injected at high pressure underground to release trapped natural gas.
Next week, if all goes according to plan, a small mountain of snow will be melted, repeatedly sterilised and then injected in a high-pressure stream of near-boiling water to clear a bore-hole through the two miles of the ice-sheet.
