In fracking, slickwater is a hydraulic fracturing proppant primarily composed of 98–99.5% water and sand, with 0.5–2% chemical additives. These additives reduce friction, prevent corrosion, inhibit microbial growth, and improve fluid flow. Injected at high pressure, slickwater creates fractures in rock formations, enhancing oil or gas extraction. It is widely used for its cost-effectiveness and ability to boost hydrocarbon recovery.
