49 Stages And 10 Million Pounds Of Sand Later: A Monster Well For EOG

24281, 1,833, EOG, Parshall 32-0225H, Parshall, middle Bakken, spectacular well; 137K in less than 4 months; 1920-acre spacing.

How did they do it? With 49 stages and 10,178,260 pounds of proppant and it looks like it was all sand.

With a total depth of 19,574 feet, this is not a particularly long horizontal -- about average for a "long horizontal" in the Bakken. 

For newbies: a long, long time ago, we discussed 60-stage fracks in the Bakken. "They" say they have the technology but to the best of my knowledge we have not seen a 60-stage frack in the Bakken,but I would love to corrected on that.

Mike Filloon has talked about the new completion strategies EOG is using. 

A rail hopper can carry up to 110 tons? 110 x 2,000 = 220,000 lbs.
10,000,000 / 220,000 = 45 hoppers. A mile-long train, I guess, is about 100 railroad cars. I could be way off on these figures. Just what I find on the net. I know as much about the railroad as I know about .... but if the figures are close, EOG can frack two wells with the sand they carry in a 110-car unit train.
