   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 ...
