Fracking isn't a drilling technique. Frack away and you will not make a foot of hole.

Fracking is a production enhancement technique which fractures the rock surrounding a hole which has already been drilled.

When the title of am article begins by displaying a fundamental lack of knowledge of the subject, I have a hard time convincing myself to read the rest.

I see the point. I also hate to see the corruption of the word “fraccing” to be spelled “fracking”. The latter term originated with a NYT reporter who wished to worsen the perception of the procedure to be more like an inelegant and derogatory term.
