Okay, most everyone has a problem with hearing about 100% hit rate news about oil & gas wells…but this is what a North Dakota truck driver delivering water for fracing operations in North Dakota told me yesterday. I’ve asked for his testimonial and he told me He’ll write one.

Just saw another report about the Bakken Shale with a map shown on Fox again today on the Fox Business News channel. The CEO of Brietling was commenting on the Bakken, and how the amount of oil discovered in North Dakota, and Montana could be a real ‘game changer’ for the US relative to producing more oil. We just need to get the word-out to more politicians, and the American people.

The reason for the 100% completion record in the Bakken Shale wells is directly tied to the discovery, or technological advances and the now routine use of ‘staged fracing’ which has been placed in wide use in the Bakken Shale in North Dakota, and Montana during the past three years. A horizontal leg often 10,000′ long can be ‘fraced’ at numerous intervals, or the shale pressurized under great pressure with water, and sand along a horizontal path drilled through the shale. For example, this process might be repeated 32 times along the 10,000′ horizontally drilled distance, or every 312.5 feet. This new technology and process helps recover around 15% to 20% of the volume of oil in place which can be quite a lot when you know the engineering involved for recovery of oil & gas from a reservoir.

Call or email me with questions and to hear about opportunities to participate in this oil ‘boom’ being experienced in North Dakota, and Montana. Dennis at: 805 701 7761
