In listening to the recent batch of hearings on the Anschutz requests, when queried by the NDIC board about whether or not they plan to stage frac their upcoming drilling, the engineers said they are still considering the data from Marathon's unlined, single stage fracs delivering 'good' results in Dunn, to the data from the Swell Packer lining with multiple staged fracs. And that they are 'leaning' toward the staged fracing... but it cost another million on top of the 4.5 million drilling cost. What kind of 'good' production numbers are coming from the Marathon wells doing unlined and single fracs? I just cannot believe with the production of Penn V, and others using 9-12 stage fracs that they would even consider sinking the 4.5 on the risk of low-moderate-'good' production vs. outstanding production with the lined/multi. With the dismal results Anschutz got with their early bakken wells, why would they not just go Multi-stage I do not understand the corporate or technical thinking on that 'unlined' option? opinions anybody?
