ReplyDeleteThanks for all the time you put into this blog!
That would be a great theme.
DeleteThank you for your kind words.
No one has said technically what array fracking actually means other that better rock fracturing.
ReplyDeleteActually that's not true: re-read two SeekingAlpha articles -- the one on a) array fracking; and, b) KOG's new completion process. The "secret" is in those two articles.
DeleteWith regard to "better rock fracturing" you are correct if I assume correctly that you are talking about increased stages and increased proppant.
For those who have not seen a well flowing, from the oil's point of view.

Thank you. I found a lot of interesting sites "googling" what I thought you might have sent me but didn't find this particular one. Now I have it; thank you.
ReplyDeleteIt won't be long before anglers start putting cameras a couple of inches above their lures while fishing.
DeleteBruce,
ReplyDeleteDo you know why Salem 1-6H is on the inactive well status? What does that mean?
I wonder if that might not be an error. Where are you getting information that it is inactive: from CLR directly, or from the NDIC website?
DeleteIf it's from CLR directly, that's one thing; if from the NDIC website, that's another thing.
I will post stand-alone post. Interesting data points.
This is the stand-alone post regarding CLR's Salem 1-6H:

Hopefully it makes sense; if not, let me know.
