strange trade, page-16

Agree Washington, they have nearly all had false starts along the trend (see Australian article I sent earlier for explanations around localized changes in geology). It's a shame that they may have not come up with the right technique first time up and that of course costs money but it doesn't necessarily mean the ground is poor. One thing I am still grappling with is that the frac was so big and thus should have exposed a lot of hydro carbon bearing fractures etc. Why they aren't flowing I am not sure , but perhaps as others have mentioned - perhaps the continued frac fluid flow back is blocking that connect to a lot of the fracture network. We will see in time. But agree that they wouldn't be out there spending their resources on new ground if they thought it was rubbish ground IMO
