How Fracking Works: Oil & Gas Extraction Process Explained #113935 (License: Personal Use)

This educational illustration depicts a land-based drilling rig connected via a vertical wellbore to horizontal fracking branches that penetrate shale formations. High-pressure fluid is injected to create fractures, allowing oil or natural gas to flow back to the surface through the well. Surface storage tanks are shown for collected resources, set against a clear sky and green terrain.
