How Long Does It Take to Frack A Well? -- The Bakken, North Dakota, USA

I see someone was googling "how long does it take to frack a well?"

See question #12  at my FAQs link at the top of the blog.

Elsewhere (this link is now irrelevant) there is a discussion on length of time to frack.

Bottom line: they can do a one-stage frack in one day, but a one-stage frack is a thing of the past.

Most fracks are now 24 - 36 stages, and take as little as 3 - 5 days and as long as a couple of weeks, depending on type of frack and if any problems are encountered along the way.

After January 1, 2012, the EPA will be promoting something new: 0-stage fracks.
