Who Does the Best Job Fracking Wells?

Of the many companies that frack gas wells, ie., Halliburton, Calfrac, Baker Hughes, Universal, Fractec, etc., who does the best job?  

Who gets the best production results?  Who has the best technology and can do it faster?  

Are there differences between companies that a gas producer will choose from for a Marcellus vs Utica Shale Gas well job? 

How much influence does the gas company have over the fracking company in techniques used?

Who`s the best and why??

Some good questions there farmgas.  Looking forward to hearing some answers.

Here's a couple more for discussion; Which E & Ps are the best to work with? Which are willing to experiment with different techniques to push the envelope?  Which ones are willing to take some extra time and spend the extra money? Which are willing to give the fracking co the leeway to do the best job?

With the crash in prices, fracking techniques will be critical to get the most production/$ or ROI.

Halliburton recently acquired Baker Hughes (with the price of a barrel of oil in the $50 range).

Schlumberger is another company that has been fracing wells in the Utica Shale Play.

If you run a Completions Report on the producing wells you will find that some of the wells have a Post Frac Job Report on file with ODNR on how the Frac of that well went. 

Look for "StimRep" at the bottom of the Completion Report and click on the link.  Make sure you have a fast network connection before you click on the link.  The PDF file you download can be quite large.  I have seen them range from 79MB file size to 172MB file size (25min-30min to download with a 3G connection).

Does Pennsylvania provide this information, too? It seems that a gas company would be very selected to qualify a well services company to frack their wells. The success of well to maximize production rests with the fracking process...right?
