Then scale it up to a 10-20 stage horizontal shale gas well that has been hydraulically fracture stimulated, the volumes produced are significant . This is an important point to remember! " :)
The next zone test,
"As a matter of note, during 2009 AWE fracture stimulated the Perth basin Corybas-1 vertical well to test the Irwin Coal Measures Formation as an "unconventional" play. Subsequently in April 2010 the well was connected to the Dongara processing facility and began producing at initial rates over 4 million standard cubic feet of gas per day. At the end of October 2010, the well was producing at a commercial rate of 1.2 million standard cubic feet per day. AWE commented that the results of this flow test were very encouraging and support the view that an optimally designed fracture stimulation program will liberate commercial gas flows. It also commented that the implementation of best completion practises, and drilling horizontal wells which are multi staged fracture stimulated, could achieve significantly higher production rates and recoveries."
