    Here's a tidbit for the haters. My rig just drilled 8 surface holes. We ran surface casing and cemented them in place. There are several houses within a 1/4 mile of the rig site. We did NOT destroy an aquifers or damage anyone's water well. It was amazing!!!


    But how many mailboxes did you knock down on the way in and out? How about power lines? :dogkeke:

    Personally I took out two this morning, right after I corrupted a poor ignorant farmers twin daughters. Tomorrow I'm going to try to run a local off the road then poop in the town's water well.

    And he just won the internet!


    Yeah, we've been told by oil field folks that it's perfectly safe. Great. I don't know though, a quick google search on "petroleum industry accidents in Louisiana" brings up several hits. No reason to have any concerns though, they say it's safe afterall.

    I work in the oilfield industry in deep water. I fully understand the processes being discussed. I have no issues with any of them being performed offshore or on land.

    Just replace fracking or oilfield or petroleum with firearm in your search bar and scare yourselves some more!

    In all seriousness though, if I didn't agree with the practices in the oilfield I would not be doing it as a career, honestly.

    In all fairness doc, I wouldn't want someone shooting a rifle next to my house either.

    I am not questioning the character of anyone, so don't take it personally please.

    I've said before, if there is a possibility that the production of Turbodog, Golden, Purple Haze, Wheat, Andygator, Abbey Ale, Seersucker Summer Ale, and on down the line can be damaged.. it's not worth the risk.

    I don't care if it's fracking, drilling, whatever. We're talking about the production of the blood that flows through my veins. That's my concern.

    A rifle doesn't put it in danger. A forest fire doesn't either. A spill in the gulf, or the lake doesn't.

    An accident in the planned project *could,* and that's all the reason I need.

    Zero. And just to add to my little story, the county was paving the road that leads to the rig. We worked around their schedule. They worked from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm. We hauled our loads in during the night. We also watered two other county roads to keep the dust down during the day because of the county workers. Not because of the dust we made. That's how you keep people happy, it's the new oilfield. With all the restriction laid upon us, plus having that road construction we still accomplished our goal of completing each surface section in 16 hours each, no spills, no accidents and no harm to the environment or the people living close by.


    So stick that where the sun don't shine. You can google all you want but you won't find my story anywhere but here. That's the funny thing about the internet, it breeds stupidity because sheeple believe what they read.

    Ha! I'll just stick it where my mailbox used to be. After the 3rd hit we relocated it so far off the road, the poor mailman has to get out of his car to reach it sometimes, but I'll be damned if the dizzy sons'a'bitches didn't still manage to clip it there and turn it sideways.

    I've yet to see anyone here say they are worried about the 99% happening. I don't see the point in saying you are done, not posting here anymore, and leaving the discussion when we are talking about the real damage that can accompany a fracking well moving into mandeville, then coming back to tell everyone that an operation didn't have a problem today. It isn't any surprising information and really has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
