A method for fraccing oil or gas wells to recover natural gas. Liquefied natural gas is vaporized to form a foam or dense fluid. The foam or dense fluid is compressed to high pressures. The high pressure natural gas foam or dense fluid is fed into the oil or gas well and once the well is pressurized to a pre-determined pressure and fracturing has begun, the flow of the foam or dense fluid is stopped. After a suitable period for fracturing to occur, the flow is reversed and the natural gas from the well and the foam or dense fluid fracturing fluid is recovered. The recovered and produced natural gas can be treated and made ready for use in other applications.
