Since 2008, over 30 wells have been completed using HVHF.įor specific details regarding HVHF activities in Michigan, please follow the links below: While limited overall compared to the volume of activities in other states, HVHF well completions have occurred in Michigan. HVHF is defined in Michigan as a well completion operation that uses over 100,000 gallons of primary carrier fluid. This method of well completion has been occurring in Michigan for over ½ of a century where more than 12,000 wells have been hydraulically fractured.Įxtensive use of 'High Volume Hydraulic Fracturing' (HVHF) is a more recent development.

Hydraulic fracturing has been in the news a great deal recently, but the process for enhancing oil and natural gas production is far from new. Hydraulic fracturing is a well completion operation that involves pumping fluids and proppant (typically sand) into a target formation under pressure to create or propagate artificial fractures, or enhance natural fractures, for the purpose of improving deliverability and production of hydrocarbons.
