I was going to add 'It's Crackerjack' before signing off but looks like I didn't need to ...lol.
To continue the Crankies theme. Our Somm, a case of a little knowledge makes you dangerous, fact is, it is little.
Firstly who knows, the formation may respond to fracking, or not. The Jurassic doesn't need it. But if they didn't expect it, there's no way they are fracking it before testing. They'd need the test spreads, pump trucks, large volumes of clean sand and water etc,they don't appear in a cpuple of days !
As for explosives being needed for fracking, that did make me larf. You need explosive charges to perforate liner or in this case, casing
But fracks are created by pumping water at high pressure, til the hydraulic head + pump pressure combined overcomes the minimum horizontal stress in the rock plus its inherent tensile strength. Or in simpler terms, water creates fractures, hope that helps.
