What???

Wouldn't the vertical thickness matter since the frac will be working in three dimentions??

Also, the "type log" is probally not even in the same unit area, I know CHK is creating units in north bossier that refer to a well in south caddo.

How do they get any kind water from areas that hot? Wouldn't any water be steam?

Remember also that at depths we're talking about, not only is there high temperature but also high PRESSURE (from the weight of all those rocks above). The pressure is what keeps the water from turning into steam. It's like the old pressure cooker that your grandmother (at least, my grandmother) used to have. By having a covered and sealed pot, the water can't turn to steam and escape, so whatever is cooking inside cooks much faster.
