Hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking, a way of extracting oil from the ground, factored in. So did horizontal drilling.

水力压裂法, 也被称为液压破碎法, 这种从地面开采石油的一种方法对价格产生影响。水平钻孔也是一样。

When the well reaches 2500 - 3000 meters, it's at its kickoff point where it can begin the process of horizontal drilling.

当井达到 2500 - 3000 米时， 它就处于开始点，可以开始水平钻井过程。

It was conquered by wildcat frackers, who came up with clever ways of horizontal drilling and releasing oil trapped in the rock formations.

它被野猫压裂者征服了，他们想出了水平钻井和释放岩层中困油的巧妙方法。

This process uses water, sand and chemicals under pressure, together with horizontal drilling through the shale beds, to release vast quantities of gas and oil from impermeable rocks that are deep underground.

该程序在压力下采用水平钻孔将水、沙子和化学物品打入页岩层，从而从不能渗透的深地岩石中发掘大量的气和油。

Right. Yes. Fracking-it's been the development of fracking combined in the case of many of these resources with horizontal drilling that allows for them to develop resources where they previously hadn't thought that they economically could do so.

正确的。是的。水力压裂法——在许多此类资源的情况下，水力压裂法的发展与水平钻井相结合，使他们能够在他们以前认为经济上无法做到的地方开发资源。
