Cheers Juno. This pretty much states everything I wanted to know.

-Saline Water is a totally normal part of flow-back.

-Recovering sub 50% of frack water is normal. Not sure at what percentage of recovery we are likely to be stopping at. Maybe it's the 30% mentioned - when hydrocarbons are expected to flow.

-Frack fluid flows back over a period of 3-4 weeks. We are halfway there. Though if we need to/plan to recover 30% frack fluid - then it's going to take more than another 2 weeks to recover the 30% based on the recovery rate over the past week.

-Most of the recoverable frack fluid flows back within 7-10 days. Makes sense - we had 13% recovery over the first week.


What I don't understand/know is at what point is it decided that enough frack fluids have been recovered. Is it simply decided for you when you stop seeing frack fluid as it has either disappeared into the rocks or diluted into the oil?....

Is the point at which the frack fluid is no longer recovered the same point at which significant hydrocarbons are seen?
