Message: <blockquote data-quote="Allen" data-source="post: 198852" data-attributes="member: 389"><p>The first frac job I helped with while working on a workover rig was back in 1985.  Basic frac'ing has been around about 30 years longer than that.  The difference between then and now is that these are horizontal wells. The Bakken itself has long been known to be hydrocarbon rich, but it's too tight to get much production out of in a vertical well that only has 30-75 ft of perforations.  It's really the use of horizontal wells that exposes 4000-12,000 ft of the formation to the well bore that makes it economical, plus all the refinement in the frac technology.  </p><p></p><p>Getting 5-10 barrels/day out of a vertical well using 30-75 ft of perfs is the next best thing to a dry hole in that she's a loser. Using that same production per foot in a horizontal well is a winner!</p></blockquote><p></p>
