Application of MHF technology to a tight gas sand in the Fort Worth Basin. Final report
This massive hydraulic fracturing treatment was performed on the Ferguson 1A, a marginal Bend Conglomerate gas producer. It commenced on September 14, 1976, and concluded on September 16, 1976. The casing ruptured on September 14, after placing 87,000 gal foam, 67,000 lb 100 mesh sand, 52,000 gal emulsion, and 151,000 lb 10-20 sand. Repair and clean up operations were completed on the 16th and an additional 51,800 gal of foam, 38,000 lb 100 mesh sand, 146,000 gal emulsion, and 250,000 lb 10-20 mesh sand were pumped. The well has been recovering the frac load since September 17, 1976, and has recovered 3,426 bbl out of 7,144 bbl total load. Initial measured gas flow was 135 Mcf/D but has declined to 15 Mcf/D currently. It appears that this technique is probably not economically feasible.
