There are mistakes made but they're never acknowledged , only paid for ! Too assert that ALL frack jobs go as planned is only Postulated by someone with Silly Putty for Brains and Contrary to Murphy's Law .
......................Drilling companies can and do log the cement jobs after they set their casing , and they KNOW , IF , VOIDS exist where the cement did NOT fill in and around the pipe as it should , unfortunately frack fluid being pumped at high pressure and high volume will do as it pleases . , fordy
