Fracking Might Be Shut Down Trucker Alert

Really? Not an accident. I bet BP and Halco would disagree. I'm in the oilfield too. For more years that you. This BS is getting harder to ignore. First time EVER there has been "proof" like this. Now ND/TX/PA is much different than WY. That well is only 1200 ft deep. Here they are 10K. I'm not worried but my head isn't in the sand either.

 

It's been an ongoing issue for years. We need oil and it's possibly more important than drinking water...

 

Nothing is more important than drinking water.That being said there are ways to protect the water table. When hauling water nth of conway ar. we hauled it back 300 miles back to ok. and pumped it down 5000 ft to dispose of it.It is costly but there is enough money involved to make it worthwhile.

 

Just read a thread on CNN about the ND oil fields. They said they drilled over a 100 + wells this year and none came up dry and thats just ND same boom is going on in several other states and across the border in Canada. End fracking, think not..

 

just read the same article too ultra... havent hit a dry well yet. amazing! gonna need alot of waterhaulers up there...

 

BIG money being made in ND right now if you can walk you can get a job

 

See, this is why the news can't be trusted... 100+ wells? Try thousands. The current active drilling rig list for ND alone shows over 200 rigs. I couldn't quickly find an annual well total for ND, but by way of comparison, here in Alberta the current active rig count is 373. Last year over 9,000 wells were drilled in Alberta and the projection for 2012 is about 15,000.

 

Don't assume the six yrs I mentioned
was the extent.i have lived oilfield for 51yrs
in it one way or another.

If you in fact knew what think,you would know
current well control tech could have contained that spill
in less then a 5 day work week.

Believe what you will,they are turning to the right
and then next 5-10 yrs looks very lucrative

 

It didn't because it couldn't.

The BOP was compromised, the riser was compromised, the cement job was compromised, the rig burned up and sank... there are reasons the well control efforts took as long as they did.

The idea that "they" let the well blow out and to continue uncontrolled thereby causing one of the largest oil spills in history in order to stimulate on-shore activity is silly at best.

And I do know a thing or two about well control having performed pumping services thousands of times on hundreds of wells, including for well control purposes, as well as having been exposed to a considerable number of other such situations both as an observer and through second-hand sources such as my father who, at 78, is still supervising drilling operations in a career that started in the early '50s.

You could be right about one thing though, the Macondo blowout was no accident... it was incompetence and greed (read: cost-cutting) at its worst. The outcome was almost assured.

 

Exactly what the media has folks to believing,it will all come to pass just like everything else in History's past

Near 300 years of combined oilfield trash history in this family
with a 7 year old dieing to throw a chain.
