"Halliburton also has a new extreme-temperature synthetic fracturing fluid comprising the first system that performs confidently at temperatures above 450°F while providing the proppant transport capabilities critical for the successful fracturing of deeper, hotter formations. In addition, this fluid system does not require a formation cool-down process, as did previous systems, which often contributes to poor initial well performance. This new fluid system is helping operators turn high-temperature discovered resources into producing assets."

That's great news BrunerFan!

Innovations like this will help the Mako project move forward.

As Jenei András said in his article...

"... so there is no reason for pessimism; five years ago, the current results would not have been forecasted, and you can speed up the extraction in parallel with advanced technology research and development."
