"Finally, fracking appears to “spoil” the wells: cheaper and faster but in the end you get less of the reserve than you could more conventionally. I say “appears” as this analysis has only surfaced recently (though I believe the big frackers knew this already)" This is incorrect. The oil that comes from fracking wells are stuck in the rocks because they have poor porosity. Conventionally this oil is not extractable on human timescales (less than millions of years). I welcome citations to the contrary to update my geologic knowledge (PhD in Earth Science, 2010) |
