Economic production can be achieved only with an enormous conductive surface area in contact with this matrix, either through existing natural fractures or the development of a fracture “network” during stimulation. Economic production would then also rely on the existence or development of sufficient conductivity within this network.

Three deep gas wells in formations of varying permeability were stimulated successfully. Post-fracture well testing showed initial production rates agreeing with what was expected based on reservoir simulation. This important result supports the proposition that unconventional gas resources in Asian countries can be attractive when applying stimulation techniques perfected in other areas (i.e. North America).

Average production increase due to the refracs was 620%. Evaluation of pre and post frac flow rates and decline curves indicates an approximate doubling of recoverable reserves.
