A acid frac does wonders on limestone.

Likely not, but I’d have to defer to the frac gurus on this one. The reason is that, depending on where you are in the basin, the lithology is generally wrong. Yes, there is some limestone, but there is a lot of silica in the system, varying amounts of dolomite with the most in Elm Coulee, and the lithology tends to be fairly complex. Added to that is the distance from sources of seawater (we’re in the center, roughly, of the continent).
