Will Refracking Come to the Marcellus/Utica Region?

For at least a decade, MDN has brought you stories about refracs, also called re-entries and re-completions, where a driller re-enters an existing and declining well to access more rock and pump new life out of it (see our refrac stories here). Last July, we brought you an article about refracs, detailing the two main types, how they are handled, and why refracing is growing in popularity (see Refracs Becoming Common Practice for Oil & Gas Operators). While we've seen a few experiments with refracs in our region, are there signs that more of this activity could soon come to the M-U?
