All Frac crews are the cream of the crop and the very most well behaved of the bunch, most likely better behaved that most of the "indigenous population". That said, they only make up a very small percentage of the rough necks invading the area to drill wells. Like I said before, wait till they meet the salt water truck drivers.

I'm in production therefore civilized, However when I have a drilling rig in my area I have to board the rig for progress reports, Still maned by ruffnecks of low moral standards. Good Luck on the east bank !
Lol the savages!
You do realize that you would have nothing to produce if it wasn't for us scum of the earth drilling guys, right?

Right, And if we didn't separate it and put it in pipelines and send it north then you would be in the dark right now ? I believe one hand helps the other out here. Btw Shawn says how the he'll are you?
The difference in aquifer risk between vertical hole and fracked lateral is? You are still drilling through the aquifer into a hydrocarbon zone, many of which are high pressure. Not to mention the risk of low volume high pressure strike at shallow depths....
Oh yeah, pumping a slurry of water and sand is much worse than the several hundred barrels of diesel or water based mud theyre pumping throughout the hole at up to 4000psi.

These are called pilot holes, they will drill through and well below the production zone. They may take core samples and analyze them. They may even flow this well. But believe me they have every intension of drilling the horizontals and fracking. Before you know it, y'all parish council members will be drinking "frack water" on television just like the governor of Colorado.

I understand how so many are cautious about fracking in their back yard. That said....All fracking is in someones backyard.
I also kind of think its funny that so many who are very right wing conservative..Bitching about Obama and Keystone pipeline jobs... etc...Are now dead set against this because its in their backyard.
If it wasn't for fracking, the USA would be in very big trouble economically. We have a huge debt level. We were seeing Peak Oil a few years back due to China's huge demand for crude oil. And we have been in dire straits since the 1973 Arab Oil Embargo.
That 1973 oil crisis really decimated the US economy.....And it is exactly why the USA has been adamant of protecting our "Interests" in the Middle East. Oil has been at the heart of so many of the wars fought in the Middle East. Oil is exactly why Al Qaeda wants the US out of the Middle East.
In any case....because of Fracking...The USA is finally importing much less petroleum than we were 20 years ago. It is a necessary evil that the USA must do to maintain our goals in the world. And without all of that oil and nat Gas coming from fracking right now...we would really be in a mess.
We are importing less oil now than any time in the last 50 years. You can thank fracking for that along with more efficient autos and trucks. America's economy is so directly related to fuel prices and crude oil access.
Many companies are currently making plans to switch manufacturing back to the US....And its because of all of the Nat Gas coming from fracking. Manufacturing is what drives an economy. Manufacturing means jobs for us...good paying jobs and huge tax increase receipts which will help balance our budget.
Furthermore...IMO...from what I have read about fracking....Most of those nightmare stories about contaminated water wells are from some of the early players who were cutting corners. When its done right....WITH THE PROPER REGULATION....Its a safe process. It all gets down to regulations IMO.

It's pretty simple dude: this is about the aquifer that supplies the drinking water for the North Shore. They have to drill through it to get to where they want to go.
This is not the case in all fracking, or drilling in general.
So much fail here:
Peak oil.... Please. No time soon.
Manufacturing jobs: no, those are due to our poor economy. It's cyclic, was predicted, and is NOT a good thing (getting them back for the reasons we are getting them back)
-although yes, the money from fracking IS helping us stay afloat and avoid facing our crushing debt load while we pile it up a little higher...

My family and my health trump the Economy, sorry. There is much more to solving the economic problem in this country than just fracking. Cheers!
