Will Refracturing Take Hold?

Posted August 04, 2015 2:38 PM by Engineering360 eNewsletter

IHS Energy/PacWest's webcast and upcoming refracturing report 'To Frac or Refrac' hones in on feasibility, economics, refracs to date, and future market trends.

"Refracturing" Does this mean fracturing on a higher level for wells that where poorly completely the first time?

What? So, we pump another 5 million gallons of chemical laden water into the ground where no earthquakes happened the first time?

The old story that it's all good to us is BS.

We DON'T NEED THE FRACKING OIL.

It's all about the money.

The US? Nothing.

The UN? Is a toothless shadow organization.
