To aid those interested in wading through the old experimental data regarding Phase II fracturing, we have compiled the following summary of the experiments. A similar summary, but one slanted from a surface operations viewpoint, was reported by A. Richard Sinclair in reference 1. Our summary is abstracted from the individual experiment reports, when available, the daily status reports, and other available information. Whenever possible we have tried to acknowledge individual authors, but occasionally we may have been incomplete in our attribution, and in the cases we offer our apologies. In the near future we intend to compile temperature and friction-corrected downhole pressures so that a complete categorization of fracture pressures will be available.
