Questerre Studying Alternative to Fracking in Quebec Utica
You have to hand it to Canada-based Questerre Energy Corporation, they are doing everything they possibly can to clear a path for drilling on their extensive Utica Shale acreage located in the province of Quebec, Canada. (Yes, there is Utica Shale in Canada!) Questerre's latest effort is to study alternative completion techniques to fracking. As you likely know, fracking involves using underground explosives to blow holes/cracks into the surrounding shale rock layer, allowing trapped gas (and oil) to escape. What if you could use existing cracks without blowing holes and creating new cracks?
