Two massive hydraulic fracturing experiments were performed on two separate gas-bearing intervals of Mesaverde sandstones in the No. 1 Home Federal well located in Uintah County, Utah. Water-base gel carrying sand proppant was used as the frac medium and the limited entry technique was used for injection. The first experiment was carried out on an interval containing 112 ft of net pay between 10,014 and 10,202 ft. Pre-frac production capacity was estimated to be 60 MCF/D. Post-frac production capacity was significantly less, presumably attributable to a limited lateral extent of inherent formation permeability. The second experiment was carried out on an interval containing 85 ft of net pay between 7826 and 9437 ft. Pre-frac production capacity of 33 MCF/D was increased by MHF to an initial 500 MCF/D and to a relatively stabilized 155 MCF/D within four months following the treatment.
