around 1.8 mill??

[ABDUKNUT]

I've been on fracs like that when i worked for halliburton. I'm guessing the ticket, before discount, was around 1.5 million

[Hilgy]

I would have to agree around 1.5-1.8 mill. I have seen some pics like this from down south in Rock Springs.

Where was this taken.

[stormy]

over 10 mil for sure

[shirtr]

$750k

I count 32 heavy trucks there. $2m divided by 32 is only $62,500/unit. As a huge guess on my part of $200,000/unit, times 32, equals $6.4m. Thats just for the heavy trucks! Stormy, you're probably spot on!

what are they doing??

[grizzler]

We just did a frac similar to that one. It was about $1.0 mil for for frac oil alone. Then about $500000.00 for the pupming services.

thats the tri-can boys they get a good deal from kenworth when they buy a bulk deal of truck i was in there yard on a delivery the other day one of the formen told me that they get there trucks for around 160,000with sleepers they must of had 50 new rigs in there niskiu yard getting ready to go out to sites no idea what the trailers run

[MB1]

I'd like to know what the guy who is in charge of that whole operation is making?$$$$$$$$$$$

[ABDUKNUT]

I count 25 tanks and 20 pumps. Price is based largely on Kw used during the pumping.

Add another hundred grand for the cost of cleanouts after they sand off (hey this IS Trican...)

[Roebag]

I'm so full of bird I can hardley sit up, I'll use my "evil ways" and try to find out more about this frac on Tuesday.

Holy Frac Attack Batman!!!!
How would you like to be the sorry arsed vac truck guys who have to clean out the frac lines. (yuk)
Must be a good well, or some one is gonna have a heap of explaining to do.

[Sakoman]

Depending on where they are they may or may not have well and they won't know until that frac is done. I have pumped some big fracs but nothing quite that big. That deep foothills stuff requires alot of horsepower to get the job done!!

[Hilgy]

I like the fact that they have one Fire truck on lease.

Apperently they havent seen the last BJ pics.

OK, I'm a bit confused. The question was, what do you think this is worth. I made the assumption it was the value of the equipment. Did the question mean how much it cost to put the well in? I have an idea, but can someone give a clear explaination as to what 'Fracing' is?

Tree:rolleyes:

Hey Tree,

Basically you are pumping a gelled or foamed fluid(frac oil, fresh water, KCL, methanol water) with sand added in stages into a set of perfs in the well to create a fracture in the zone where the product is(gas or oil). The gelled or foamed fluid then breaks down and the sand is left to hold the frac open.

Depending how deep and the type of formation you will need more or less HP, the reason you see all those frac pumps in the pics. Each one of those pumps can put out so much rate(M3/M)so depending on the program you may need one pump or thirty.


Theres a bit more to it but I type so slow thats all I got for ya.
