They mention the North Slope on their website:

"Ely and Associates’ personnel have been in the forefront of high permeability fracturing in the Gulf of Mexico, the North Slope and throughout the world."

"Ely and Associates has a time-tested track record of success in virtually every shale play in North America, and many others around the world."

"Since the early days of hydraulic fracturing Ely engineers have worked on hundreds of plays around the world, stimulating oil and gas production with outstanding results."

"Many plays have historically been unviable due to the low permeability of the rock, which restricts oil and gas production in a standard well. The appropriate hydraulic fracture treatment can otherwise turn a worthless well into a top producer."



So these guys have 'outstanding results'. These guys have made low permeability wells work. These guys have worked on high permeability wells on the North Slope like ours.

I'll say it again - risks? What risks?

More research needed.....
