The Rising Influence of Rising Affluence

[OakesCS]

as semi_inf implied w the pilot study comment, fracking isn’t as simple as pumping water in until rock breaks.

Refracking would almost certainly involve trying to avoid the original fractures. So that means knowing where the original fractures are and controlling the new fractures to avoid intersections is a paramount concern. I’d bet that the necessary information doesn’t exist for most wells in the Permian basin or anywhere the wells were drilled and completed on the cheap and I doubt if sufficiently accurate info can b acquired after the fact.

Would probably be more effective to completely rubblize the reservoir and run a sweep eor operation (only half joking)
