  "id": "MLC-T-OAG-001555",
  "term": "Frac gradient",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "The pressure gradient, expressed in pounds per square inch per foot (psi/ft), at which a rock formation will fracture. This value represents the minimum pressure required to initiate and propagate a hydraulic fracture in the reservoir rock. It is a key parameter for designing hydraulic fracturing treatments and preventing unintended fracturing of overlying formations.",
