Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014049017A1] The invention relates to a method for fracking an underground formation, comprising at least the following steps: a) sinking a deviated bore (1), which comprises a quasi-vertical segment (11) and a quasi-horizontal segment (12), into the underground formation, b) introducing hollow bodies (HK) and a flowable explosive (FS) that can be detonated into the deviated bore (1), and (c) initiating the detonation in the deviated bore (1), wherein the hollow bodies (HK) have a density (DHK) and the flowable explosive (FS) that can be detonated has a density (DFS) and (DHK) is less than (DFS) and a resting phase is inserted after the end of step b) and before step c), whereby the hollow bodies (HK) float up in the flowable explosive (FS) that can be detonated.
