Here it is - a picture of a hydraulic fracture - we did the very first one on a whole continent!!! I will update this soon with more information. Here is the team that helped - they put me in the front. We also may have a world record for the number of fractures carried out in one borehole for stress measurement (20 fracs!). Three important people could not be in the picture - Rich Jarrad from U of Utah, Terry Wilson from Ohio State both of whom made this
all happen (and wanted to be here but could not be) and also Hedley the sparky who was in bed at the camp. This team had Kiwis, Germans, an Italian, Americans, and of course Flat Stanley and I from Canada. This was about midnight and we were pretty tired after working for maybe 48 hours or so. Flat Stanley was a great help - he did our sleeping for us!

Hydrofracturing is an affordable way to increase well production. It involves injecting high pressure and high volumes of water into the formation of bedrock to increase the size of existing fractures and to create new ones.
