I think we Ned to make distinction between proppants and frac fluid. Ssn has stated that they used 300,000 pounds of proppants but no clue about the water. Normally for a horizontal frac, they use between 4 to 6 million gallons of water I.e. Between 100,000 to 150,000 barrels of water. I hope the proppants are not flowing back as these are used to keep the fractures open. They have recovered approx 29,000 barrels but still need to recover approx 71,000 barrels of fluid. This will take time (even with a jack pump). The amount of frac fluid remaining is quite large and may have thus suppressed the flow of oil.
It will flow but needs to be given time.
