Abstract: The results of a joint research and held effort to develop the gas potential from the very low permeability Muddy J Formation in the Wattenberg Field near Denver, Colorado, by the application of MHF (Massive Hydraulic Fracturing) are presented. Based on the success of this technique in Wattenberg exploitation of similar tight gas reservoirs is quite probable. The Muddy J Formation is approximately 50 ft thick and found at a depth of about 8,000 ft. The bottom-hole temperature in these wells is 260F. Initial attempts to develop the gas potential in this field were made by stimulating wells with 40,000 to 50,000 gal gelled water fracturing treatments. These efforts resulted in increased gas production however, the rapid decline of gas production rates with time indicated that the stimulations would be economic failures.
