This report describes in detail the application of Advanced Stimulation Technologies by BEI to 80 Frontier-only wells in the Moxa Arch area of southwestern Wyoming. Treatment optimization studies using reservoir simulators and 3D fracture models were performed for the purpose of selecting optimal proppant and fluid volumes. Point-source perforating, net pressure matching for pad optimization and estimation of fracture geometry, and on-site quality control and fluids testing were all performed during the course of the 80 well program in order to optimize the results. Finally, the calculation of benefits using the AST 4-step methodology is discussed in detail in this report.
