EWyatt Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 A general question about the oil/gas fracking process: Is the lateral line of a well usually fracked (and providing production) along almost the entire length of the lateral line or just the far end? Example: we have 9 lateral lines, each a half mile long, originating from a neighbor's acreage and extending to another neighbor's land. We're in the middle. Can we assume that oil/gas production is coming from under our land also, or are we just granting access? Note: we're in the Eagle Ford formation in Karnes County, Texas.

StringJunky Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) All along the horizontal I would think because they would just keep adding porous pipes as the venture further to keep the supply going. https://ixquick-proxy.com/do/spg/show_picture.pl?l=english&rais=1&oiu=https%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2Fa%2Fad%2FHydroFrac2.svg&sp=a357db21d2291694b2800aefa73d2fa6 Edited November 1, 2018 by StringJunky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's hope that our portion of the lateral lines will be producing, and paying! Besides, it makes sense to use the entire line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
