til at aktivere den producerende formation benytter man hydrauliske opspraekningsmetoder,idet man under hoejt tryk pumper en vaeske ned i strukturen,hvorved der dannes spraekker i denne (causing it to break-down, high fluid-pressure is applied to the rock, in hydraulic fracturing methods, used to stimulate a producing formation), grubetaerings- eller gennemslagspotentialet findes ved langsom optegning af stroemtaetheds-potential-kurven ved trinvis aendring af potentialet (the break-down potential is ascertained by slowly plotting the current-density potential curve in intermittent potential steps).

en los métodos de fracturación hidráulica, empleados para estimular la formación productiva, se aplica un líquido a elevada presión que fisura la roca (causing it to break-down, high fluid-pressure is applied to the rock, in hydraulic fracturing methods, used to stimulate a producing formation), el potencial de rotura se obtiene por registro de la curva de densidad de corriente-potencial con aumentos discontinuos de potencial (the break-down potential is ascertained by slowly plotting the current-density potential curve in intermittent potential steps).
