The thought of Treaty fraccing in Belize scares me.

Treaty have not even proved that they can drill a straight hole in Belize to 1500ft and log it.

With regard to fracturing, a few facts that you (and Treaty) should be aware of:
(1) The Environmental Impact Assessment for the first two Princess / Treaty wells, including San Juan #2 dated July 2011 did not take into consideration the proximity of the 3 water supply wells for Placencia / Southern Belize which are just under 3 miles away and which draw their supply from an underground limestone aquifer
(2) The same EIA did not consider anything beyond the exploration phase of these wells, so I suspect that the well casing design for San Juan #2 did not take into account the requirement for fracturing
(3) There is no fracturing equipment available in Belize.
(4) Several states in the USA have banned fracturing because fraccing of tight gas wells has contaminated the water supply aquifers above, and a lot of others are tightly regulating it.

So given the above, I hope they don't plan to do it in this well and only consider doing it in future wells if it has been properly engineered beforehand.
