Propane is pumped into shale formations creating pressure of about 100–200 psi. Excessive pressure cracks the rocks and releases natural gases in the process. In waterless fracturing, most of the released gas is able to surface because the propane used does not block drilled pathways. During the pumping, LPG is converted into gas which guara
