Fracturing pump

 

 

Fracturing pumps, also known as frac pumps, are a crucial component in the hydraulic fracturing process used in the oil and gas industry. Here is an overview of their key features, functions, and importance:

What are Fracturing Pumps?
Fracturing pumps are high-pressure pumps specifically designed to inject a mixture of water, sand, and chemicals (known as fracturing fluid) into a wellbore to create fractures in the underground rock formations. This process, known as hydraulic fracturing or fracking, helps release oil and natural gas from reservoirs that are otherwise difficult to extract.
