Yes, Frac Rite™ has carried out the only known application of soil fracturing from a horizontal well bore for enhanced in situ remediation in Canada. We use a variation of our conventional fracturing tools to enable soil fracturing in horizontal well bores; fracture slurry formulation procedures used are the same as for fracturing in vertical boreholes.
