Oil/gas well fracking techniques....

Recommended Posts

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.

All along the horizontal I would think because they would just keep adding porous pipes as the venture further to keep the supply going.

Thanks, StringJunky -- good info.  There's hope that our portion of the lateral lines will be producing, and paying!  Besides, it makes sense to use the entire line.
