Petroleum Services Association of Canada (PSAC) National trade association representing the service, supply and manufacturing sectors within the upstream petroleum industry. Close to 260 member companies, employing more than 80,000 people and contracting almost exclusively to oil and gas exploration and production companies.

Hydraulic Fracturing Purpose Graphic: CSUR
14
Hydraulic Fracturing Process Pump fluid into a wellbore to create enough pressure to crack, or fracture, the rock layer Causes existing fractures to open or new fractures to be created Proppant, usually sand or ceramics, helps keep the fractures open to allow oil and gas to flow to the well
