I see you like to get around. ;-) I guess I wouldn't be wrong if I said, "I bet you say that to all the girls."<br /><br />Is this what you learned when you got that marketing degree? You type up a brilliant, well-reasoned argument to cut-and-paste it around the net. Hmmm...How's that working for you buddy?TXsharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07438250322631393952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7973802945295732402.post-7801365406996597642009-09-28T13:24:17.740-05:002009-09-28T13:24:17.740-05:00This is just another method by which groups such a...This is just another method by which groups such as yours and environmentally-motivated groups are attacking the industry. The environmental groups are attacking because they want to eliminate drilling entirely, and you want to eliminate it around you (although most of the time you come off so abrasively towards the industry that you appear as though you want to eliminate drilling entirely).<br /><br />When you take the unfounded claims out of it, there is quite a bit of science, engineering, and plain ole common sense that disprove the claims.<br /><br />First and foremost, fracturing has been done for 50 years, with NO PROOF of groundwater being contaminated by it's means. Yes, there are ALWAYS reports, but show me one in which it was proven to be caused by hydraulic fracturing.<br /><br />Secondly, the vast majority of usable groundwater is 1,000 feet deep or shallower. Hydraulic fracturing is taking place in the Barnett Shale at a MINIMUM depth of 6,000 feet. It is probably about 7,500 feet on average. And the Barnett Shale is considered shallow for a shale formation.<br /><br />You tell me how groundwater that is located 1,000 feet or less from the surface can be contaminated by fluid being pumped to a minimum of 6,000 feet below the surface. This of course assumes a properly cased hole, which is the case in every producing oil and gas well. <br /><br />You let me know when you figure out how frac fluid is going to travel vertically 5,000 feet at a minimum through formation after formation, reservoir after reservoir, through countless layers of impermeable cap rock. Because it damn sure is not getting through the surface casing designed to protect the water table.<br /><br />Please, I challenge someone to enlighten me as to how this is possible. Until then, I, along with countless others, will call bull$@%^ to the claim.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02981536967135898212noreply@blogger.com
