Hydraulic fracturing

Ruden Geo Services is a market leader in Norway in the hydraulic fracturing of wells to enhance their capacity and performance.

Our hydraulic fracturing method for shallow wells is fundamentally different from large-scale oil industry “fracking.” Instead, it is a controlled and environmentally safe technique designed to improve groundwater flow and aquifer productivity.

By isolating a specific interval within a well using single or double packers, water is injected under high pressure to enhance the natural fracture network in the surrounding rock. This process increases the opening and extension of existing fractures, resulting in better connectivity and significant improvements in well performance.

Ruden’s experienced hydrogeologists and engineers use specialized equipment and carefully monitored procedures to ensure safe, efficient, and effective fracturing operations, tailored to the geological conditions of each site.
