Fracking is a method of accessing and extracting natural gas and oil.

Fracking is an abbreviation for hydraulic fracturing.


It involves injecting fluid under high pressure into deep rock formations to create - and hold open - cracks through which deposits of gas and oil can be extracted.

Opponents of fracking highlight its environmental risks including methane leakage and increased risk of earthquakes.
