    Be careful out there with all this rain we have been having lately. Lots of lightening with these thunderstorms that have been coming through at night. Ours was hit last night. We had a driver there when it hit and luckily he was not hurt and no damage to the truck. The disposal however is a loss. We recently had brand new tanks put in and they are the ones that were hit. Stay safe out there!

    Yes, it is the first disposal on Rocker B off of 137. It was actually our new disposal tanks for produced water that was hit on the east end. The brine and fresh water tanks are the older ones closer to the road on the west end. If they have the power turned back on you can still get fresh water or brine.

    I remember going over there when I work for Nabors out of Iraan. The code for disposal was on the door of the control panel and the brine water you had use a same type of key they use to open vending machines.I haven't been to West Texas for over 3 years now.I'm surprise that SDS I think what it's called on Odessa that I use to take drilling mud to ever caught on fire from all toxic stuff they get everyday.
