"That is my opinion, yes. In the Haynesville and Bossier, with wells drilled in a N-S / S-N azimuth, fractures predominately grow perpendicular to the wellbore and vertically."

I am curious if this is of any interest to people. I track upcoming hearings regularly and maintain my internal map. Would there be interest in seeing something like this updated bi-weekly or…Continue

Ryan Howrish replied to Ryan Howrish's discussion Pending Public Oil and Gas Hearings"I read through the emergency order and all of the associated supplemental documents. If I read it correctly, the emergency was created because gas was detected in an aquifer. After all the data was submitted and reviewed, the last supplement…"
Rock Man replied to Ryan Howrish's discussion Pending Public Oil and Gas Hearings"In my opinion, these long distance "frac hits" are tied to having frac jobs intersect natural fracture systems - and then those "open conduits" transporting that frac event / associated fluids and proppant long distances away…"
Ryan Howrish replied to Ryan Howrish's discussion Pending Public Oil and Gas Hearings"I agree with this statement for lateral communication in the East-West direction for wells drilled within 330ft of a unit boundary. I have not seen the same evidence of significant frac communication in the North-South direction at the heel and…"
full name replied to Ryan Howrish's discussion Pending Public Oil and Gas Hearings" It looks like the new wells are fracturing past the 300 foot boundary for each section. I have one old well that went from 2,000/mo to 70,000/mo when the section adjacent to the well was fracked and another well saw a substantial…"
Ryan Howrish replied to Ryan Howrish's discussion Pending Public Oil and Gas Hearings"You will never achieve 100% recovery ultra-low permeability reservoirs. 40% is maybe on the low side, but 100% is not achievable."
Ryan Howrish replied to Ryan Howrish's discussion Pending Public Oil and Gas Hearings"Early wells were dramatically understimulated. We actually found that fluid loading was a more statistically significant variable on the productivity of wells. Some early wells had 15 bbl/ft and I’ve been involved with the testing up to 130…"
Ryan Howrish replied to Ryan Howrish's discussion Pending Public Oil and Gas Hearings"My thoughts are that if 330' stages efficiently drained that area with large fracs, stages would not be spaced 120-140ft apart. One of the significant step changes in productivity from the first several years of development to today is…"
"The U-Turn discussion is timely as I've been receiving notices concerning CHK's permit/application/drill etc. in Bethany Longstreet (Pankey) specifically HA RA SU75."
Rock Man replied to Ryan Howrish's discussion Pending Public Oil and Gas Hearings"I am pretty sure that operators are perforating the "bottom of the U" curve in the Permian Basin.
Even with the 330' stand off line, perf'ing this zone accesses the 330' interval via the frac and growth of stimulated rock…"
Ryan Howrish replied to Ryan Howrish's discussion Pending Public Oil and Gas Hearings"I agree the no-perf zone is a challenge but unfortunately there are several thousand wells and hundreds of units developed that are unlikely to ever produce from the 330ft offset in LA.
It may not be worth stimulating the U portion of the lateral.…"
Ryan Howrish replied to Ryan Howrish's discussion Pending Public Oil and Gas Hearings"It is not without challenges, but you could perforate and stimulate around the U. That would require changes to the directional plan, and it's not without risk. Due to the off-azimuth direction of the U portion of the lateral, I…"
Ryan Howrish replied to Ryan Howrish's discussion Pending Public Oil and Gas Hearings"It does not create additional stranded reserves, it just follows the existing 330ft setback rules. If the rules change, a design like this could be used to cause less waste."
Ryan Howrish replied to Ryan Howrish's discussion Pending Public Oil and Gas Hearings"This design does not change the first and last take points for gas. You drill ~1000ft or more of unproductive lateral,making the u-turn rather than drilling another ~10,000ft vertical section and well pad for a new well. The amount of unrecoverable…"
Ryan Howrish replied to Ryan Howrish's discussion Pending Public Oil and Gas Hearings"Skip - I think you will start seeing more U-turn wells in stranded sections. They have been proven technically (GEP II successfully drilled and completed a U-turn well in DeSoto Parish - I can't recall the S-T-R). No operators want…"
full name replied to Ryan Howrish's discussion Pending Public Oil and Gas Hearings"EXCO has allowed this in the past. 015-14N-14W is an EXCO unit but it has a fault running through it. EXCO has wells (sections 10-15)in the North side of the fault and Comstock has wells in the south (sections 15-22-27)."

The Lithium Connection to Shale Drilling
Shale drilling and lithium extraction are seemingly distinct activities, but there is a growing connection between the two as the world moves towards cleaner energy solutions. While shale drilling primarily targets…
