In the article, Mr. Brigham states: "Although shows are not definitive, our Olson and Figaro wells have both had some of the strongest shows we've seen to date, including excellent oil shows over the shakers and intermittent natural gas flares while drilling. We believe we've experienced substantial improvements in well economics as we've increased the number of fracture stimulations in our horizontal Bakken wells. The Olson and the Figaro will be our first long lateral wells utilizing swell packers and 20 fracture stimulation intervals."
A couple of newbie questions... 1. What does he mean by "shows" and "excellent oil shows over the shakers"? 2. on well economics. Are the efficiencies gained by increasing the fractures from 12 to 20, simply by increasing the length of the lateral distance? 3. The Olson well appears to be in 1280 section (9,618' lateral). Are other companies experimenting with even longer laterals? What sort of risks are involved with these longer laterals? Thanks for all responses.
