`the company’s prize product and
`primary innovation. is an open hole
`ball drop completion system that's
`widely credited with unlocking old
`resource plays that were thought to
`be too expensive or too technically
`challenging to tap. The company
`has continued to press ahead in the
`years since‘ adding new functions
`and features to its StackFRAC
`
`process along with additional tools
`and technologies. That, in turn. has
`allowed operators to dramatically
`increase the number of frack stages
`in each well - and the production
`that comes with them. In 2012,
`
`Theniig was recognized for his
`work with a Sproule Innovation
`and Achievement Award. which are
`
`given to individuals or organizations
`that "have made significant
`contributions and accomplishments
`towards advancing the development
`of unconventional gas resources in
`Canada." it‘s a safe bet that it won’t
`be the last award he receives for his
`contributions; to that sector.
