In hydraulic fracturing (fracking), which consequence results when increased injection pressure exceeds the fracturing ball's check valve capacity?

💡 Explanation

Premature proppant flowback occurs because insufficient check valve capacity allows fluid pressure to reverse via fluid backflow, overwhelming the **ball check mechanism**. Therefore proppant is carried back up the well bore, rather than remaining in place to keep the fracture open.
