500 feet in a day? What are they drilling through, butter?
I've seen frac operations on 11,000 foot horizontal gas wells, and it's pretty impressive. I'm guessing this will eb slightly smaller scale, but it's probably the same principle. Pretty cool, how that gets done.

When I went down yesterday at around 3 they were at 220', they had started at 7AM. My neighbors must've been thrilled with this quiet operation. When I was called this morning they were at 500'. Mind you I hve no idea what time they stopped last night. It is impressive how the frac works, when that is done I will have one hell of a resevoir!

Do you know if they're using a proppant in the frac? I'd guess not, since it might have a tendancy to flow back out, and the polymers they use to make the water slick might foul the well. On the other hand, without a proppant the frac would tend to collapse, but that might not be a problem with a water well, with relatively low flow rates needed.

I do not know the answer to this, I will find out next week and let you know!
