Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is a technique for extracting gas and oil from shale rock. Drilling down into the soil before directing a high-pressure water mixture at the rock to release the gas inside is known as fracking. The high-pressure combination fractures the rock, which is referred to as fracking. The operation can be carried either vertically or horizontally to the rock layer, which can be used to construct new pathways for gas escape or to extend existing channels.
Catalytic cracking reduces the number of residuals and increases the quality and quantity of lighter, more desired products by breaking complex hydrocarbons into simpler molecules. Catalytic cracking is analogous to thermal cracking, with the exception that catalysts help convert heavy molecules into lighter products. In the oil industry, catalytic cracking is a process in which petroleum vapor flows through a low-density catalyst bed, causing the heavier fractions to ‘crack,' resulting in lighter, more valuable products. They're utilized to make polyolefins on a huge scale in the petrochemicals industry.
