Original Post
Coming off today's confidential list, look at the amount of proppant Oasis used in this 36-stage frack:

• 31121, 1,374, Oasis, Hysted 5200 12-30 10B, Camp, 36 stages, 20 million lbs, t4/16; cum 67K 8/16; 
If the graphic is too small to read, click on it. It will come up in a new window and you can zoom in as much as you want.


 
And then look at the number of stages EOG used in this frack:

• 32320, 583, EOG, EN-Freda-154-94-2635H-8, Alkali Creek, 50 stages, 3.5 million lbs, t9/16; cum 4K over first 5 days;
For newbies:

The number of frack stages has increased several-fold over the past couple of years, and the "standard" frack in the Bakken now seems to be between 24 and 36 stages, but there is more talk of more 50-stage fracks (Filloon has several articles on this; see "Filloon" tag at bottom of blog.)

When the boom began, most fracks were well below one million lbs proppant total (sand, ceramic, or some combination) but began to increase over time. BEXP (now Statoil) seemed to jump to much larger amounts of proppant early in the game, routinely going to 4 million pounds to frack a single well.

Then EOG pushed the envelope with testing new fracks using between 10 million and 20 million lbs of sand. And remember: EOG wells were generally one mile long (short laterals, one section) vs the more common two-mile laterals (long laterals, two section horizontals) being drilled by most other operators.

I think this is the first time I've seen Oasis using this much proppant. I check very few file reports so I assume there are several other examples.

I have not tracked fracks based on proppant amount, but if I see some high-proppant fracks (greater than 8 million lbs) I will post them here. 

Now for investors ... oh, the disclaimer ... this is not an investment site. Do not make any investment, financial, job, relationship, or travel decisions based on what you read here. This is not an investment site. Okay, back to what I was going to say. For investors:

• Filloon has had two articles over at SeekingAlpha with this title: the use of fracking sand will go hyperbolic
• there are upwards of 900 wells in the Bakken waiting to be fracked (similar numbers in Texas)
• operators are increasing the amount of sand being used per frack
This does not seem to require a degree in rocket science to consider the opportunities. But, then what do I know?
