Oh just been here in West Texas drilling and producing oil for the last 40 years. Fracing started long before the Bakken, like 70 years before and almost every well drilled since has been hydraulically fractured. My interest was in the term “frac oil” which is rather silly sounding to those of us in the business.
” . Fracing started long before the Bakken, like 70 years before and almost every well drilled since has been hydraulically fractured.”
Really?
IN my +40 years in industry of wells I drilled were overwhelmingly not fracced, perhaps only 5% of so.
The fraccing phenomena we are witnessing that has the majority of wells are being fracced is only for the last decade or so.
Perhaps what’s what you meant.
