Frac’ing sandstones represents the low-hanging fruit our industry has chased since the late 1940.
Not if due to geosteering failure, you leave the shale body and drill into a weaker formation.
But that only explains half of the story. The other great leap in drilling technology was the advancement in geo steering of the wellpath with rotary steerables. This ensured that the wellpath remained in the shale body of the formation.
Yes, great technology, but fracs will connect into the shale even if drill steering fails
Love these informative clips. Thank you!
