for the dirty side based on the debolt water well tests conducted in june 2010 a feasibility study of the pfod process and initial field testing of a prototype nace trim hphps frac pump in july and august of 2010 it was concluded it is technically and economically feasible to use debolt water in its untreated state for fracturing operations it is possible using the pfod process to maintain pressures above 2310 kpa bpp for debolt water thus keeping gases including h 2 s contained in solution no compatibility issues have arisen using debolt water for fracturing or injection into shale a hphps nace trim frac pump using debolt water can be constructed and used on the clean side of fracturing operations no operational or safety issues were identified during the testing and ultimate use in the field of the hphps frac pump freshwater may not be readily available for operations water from debolt using pfod process is readily available availability is not subject to spring and summer rainfall or suspension of licenses due to drought for example in august 2010 government regulators in british columbia suspended freshwater withdrawal licenses for hydrocarbon fracturing operations in the montney area due to a drought in the peace river watershed there is experience in the pump industry in building a high suction pressure plunger style pump with a nace trim fluid end there is no experience in the frac pump industry in building a high suction pressure over 330 prig 2300 kpag plunger style frac pump with a nace trim fluid end capable of pumping american petroleum institute u201c api u201d quality frac sand for the dirty side fracing there is no apparent technical limitation or constraint to prevent the engineering and fabrication of a pressure blender to use debolt.
