Change in the physical parameters of rocks due to hydrofracturing

Hydrofracturing is a procedure performed for the activation and intensification of fluid flow in shale and geothermal deposits. This operation involves the risk of inducing strong seismic shocks and the leakage of borehole liquids into drinking water reservoirs. The changes of the physical propertie...
