Many companies use the sand in hydraulic fracturing

Engineer Williston, which specializes in hydraulic fracturing once nicknamed worker in the oil industry.
â € œI was able to able to create good jobs factions, â €? said Besler, 56.
The name stuck and became Beslerâ € ™ with the license plate, and possibly the name of the company when he decided to become independent and begin FRACN8R advice.

Besler, whose business card says, HEA € ™ with a crack rock in North Dakota in 1981, was hired by the oil companies to optimize the results of hydraulic fracturing, so as to better the production wells.
Hydraulic fracturing, or Fracking, is the process of extracting oil and gas from underground formations using pressurized fluids.

Besler said he would like to be able to use their experience, knowledge and intuition to look at all the information about the property and develop a better job fracturing. Factors such as geology and how the company has completed to make a difference, he said.
â € œItâ € ™ is not a clearly defined process, â €? said Besler, whose industry experience includes work for Halliburton, Hess Corporation

Many companies use the sand in hydraulic fracturing, but Besler recommends they use artificial pearls known as the pottery store. Sand or proppant used to œprop Opena â € €? rock fracturing process breaks created to allow the oil to flow out of the rock in the well.
Ceramic is stronger and has more open fractures, and the sand can get crushed in the warm, deep layers of the Bakken and Three Forks formations, Besler said.
Sand typically costs 20 cents to 30 cents per pound, while the most expensive ceramic proppant can cost $ 2 to $ 3 per pound, Besler said.

But proppant can better enable wells to be productive for 20 to 30 years, Besler said.
People often think of the fracturing fluid chemicals or specialized, but many of the ingredients are common household products, such as the same ingredients used in lip balm or compost, Besler said. He told one of his quirks is focused on the ingredient list of products that they buy to see how many ingredients Hea € ™ s used in hydraulic fracturing.

EMG has slowed this winter in North Dakota, in part because it could be 20 percent to 30 percent higher in the winter months, because the liquid to be heated and travel is often delayed, Besler said.
Lynn Helms, director of the Department of Mineral Resources, said that about 410 wells waiting EMG team in late January.
Besler said he expects increased competition between companies will start to bring the costs of hydraulic fracturing in the state. He believes that the summary after the spring road restrictions will be lifted.
