Fracking Denton drama

[Trip McNeely]

My company and a lot of other E&Ps here recycle our frac water, we Reuse 100% of our flowback and mix with freshwater for future jobs. In fact PA doesn't utilize injection wells hardly at all. I believe there are only 5 or so active in the entire state. So yes you can frac and not have to use an injection well. It's called green completions and its all about water management.

Hopefully more companies will get to that point. I've talked with friends on the drilling side for E&Ps and the cost difference of recycling verses fresh out here is just too much to convince most companies to do it.

Hooray for companies that put profit above responsible business practices! Gotta keep those brodozer payments coming!

I would just be happy if the water dudes would stop over filling their tanks while they sleep in their trucks. It always seems to happen at the end of the job and floods are backyard and center of the frac spread ensuring that we get to rig down in the mud.

Guess you should tell her to quit fracking breaking the law.

If getting arrested was on her bucket list. Maybe she should set her goals a bit higher?

Get on top of the tanks and slap them in the back of the fucking head!!! Your treater and company man know how many tanks are on location and the planned clean volume for the job. Somebody has to tell water transfer what the plan is.

Anyone who says that they are fine with a gas well/fracking in their neighborhood and or directly next door is a liar. There's a happy medium, but neither side care to discuss that. There are plenty of places in the City of Denton where anyone can have a well and many wouldn't care.

Not to mention you have the Republican Party of Texas' gift of God in Dick Armey bitching about a water tower and his property values...

I agree with Brent's sentiments.

I'll add that in Texas the mineral estate is wildly dominant. Oil and Gas is king, and the surface estate has relatively no rights.

More like Lambo and Ferrari payments.

Brodozers are for us lowly service company employees that are at the mercy of the E&P.

So how much more are you willing to pay at the pump?

Is Denton on the Barnett? Does it offer an easier/cheaper access point? Just trying to figure out why drilling there is so critical vs outside of town.

[Ruffdaddy]

Denton is on the barnett and denton county is a core county of the play. That means it will be more logical to target when prices are low.

[Ruffdaddy]

Heres a good map to indicate why denton and tarrant are so targeted.
