But first, drink the water that comes from that area. (Or set it on fire and cook hot dogs). Vice President Cheney gave his oil buddies permission to go around EPA rules and not have to disclose the different poisons they pump into the local drinking water.

There is not one verified case of water contamination from shale fracking.
Not one. There have been cases of shallow fracking contaminating ground
water over the years. Fracking is not new. Been going on for many years.
I worked on a fracking crew with Halliburton in 1980. The thing is
Jerry. shale is very deep. The water found at these levels is brackish
and non drinkable. The hubbub about this is normal knee jerk from the
usual suspects. The truth about shale is that it's the salvation of US
energy. We now have enough natural gas to supply our needs for 200 years.


The economics of horizontal wells depends on the region. In the
Haynesville Shale of East Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas, the farther west
you go the better it is. In LA the gas is very dry and therefore not
economic at the current 2 dollar an MMBTU. But the wells in Texas are
very wet gas. The liquids from natural gas sell for about 80 to 90% of
the price of oil so are very economical. So as long as they drill in wet
areas the liquids will support gas production.

The Eagle Ford shale in South Texas has 3 bands. Dry gas, wet gas and
oil. The oil band is estimated to have more oil than the Permian Basin
and East Texas (Cotton Valley) combined.

Don't let the idiots that HATE big oil prevent this production.

Actually more than one. It's was all covered in a documentary called Gasland; where it mentions a number of cases that have been settled with the requirement that the victims that collected not reveal the outcome of the cases.

No, the 'hubbub' is the fact fracking involves high pressure shocks that crack the casings at virtually any depth, and the poison leaks into the drinking water.

"Two months after the drilling began on two hydrofracking wells within a
mile of her property, Kim McEvoy of Evans City, PA began to notice her
well water turning black and emitting a foul odor. “The smell of rotten
eggs was so strong that it would wake me up when the shower was running in
the next room,” Kim said, adding that headaches, constant fatigue and
growing health concerns followed. Referring to her pursuit of an
explanation for the high levels of toxic chemicals in her well water, a
resident of Susquehanna County slated to take questions at the press
conference said, “I felt helpless. Hopeless. Absolutely hopeless. . .
[Southwestern Energy] said, ‘We are not going to help you.’ It’s just me
up against a giant oil and gas corporation. My water is ruined, my
property value is totally done for.”

No, not apples and oranges. Fracking involves high pressure shocks. The well casings going down from the surface can crack or break. Poison leaks into the drinking water. The drinking water is poisoned, and in some cases can be ignited. Do you deny this has happened and is happening?

As I said there have been frac problems in the past. I know of a case
where chicken feathers came out of a water well from fracking. But it is
much safer to frac deep than shallow and shale is deep. Therefore deep is
safer than shallow.

Ahem. "Last year, The New York Times documented how gas drillers were
dumping millions of gallons of irradiated wastewater loaded with toxic
chemicals into Pennsylvania's rivers and streams, largely without
regulatory oversight."

And: "Last year, scientists at Duke University published the first
rigorous, peer-reviewed study of pollution at drilling and fracking
operations. Examining 60 sites in New York and Pennsylvania, they found
'systematic evidence for methane contamination' in household drinking
water: Water wells half a mile from drilling operations were contaminated
by methane at 17 times the rate of those farther from gas developments.

"The study caused a big stir, in part because it was the first clear
evidence that fracking was contaminating drinking water, contrary to the
industry's denials. Just weeks after the study was released, the
Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection fined Chesapeake $1.1
million – the largest fine against an oil and gas operator in the agency's
his­tory – for contaminating 17 wells in Bradford County, including some
that had been part of the Duke study."

You're peddling nonsensical industry propaganda. That foolishness about
"200 years" is just a hook to rope in investment cash for land speculation
– it refers to total gas "resource" (the sum total of all gas in the
ground), NOT actual extractable reserves (and I believe your figure is
about double what even actual industry insiders estimate). From the same
article: "At the same time, scientists began to conclude that America's
reserves of natural gas have been overhyped. In January, the Energy
Department cut its estimate of the amount of gas available in the
Marcellus Shale by nearly 70 percent, and a group affiliated with the
Colorado School of Mines warns that there may be only 23 years' worth of
economically recoverable gas left nationwide."

The U.S. Energy Information Administration thinks that estimate is overly
optimistic: "Assuming that the United States continues to use about 24 tcf
per annum, then, only an 11-year supply of natural gas is certain. The
other 89 years' worth has not yet been shown to exist or to be
recoverable. Even that comparably modest estimate of 11 years’ supply may
be optimistic. Those 273 tcf are located in reserves that are undrilled,
but are adjacent to drilled tracts where gas has been produced. Due to
large lateral differences in the geology of shale plays, production can
vary considerably from adjacent wells."

Show me a verified case of shale fracking polluting ground water. Not
spills, not illegal dumping but a case of shale frack water percolating up
as the hysteria suggests.

And yes while it is possible for the casing to crack and leak and then get
through the cement the casing is wrapped in, it is highly unlikely. The
process is engineered to work within the tolerances of the pipe. To crack
or split the casing would be catastrophic to the bottom line. That well
would be plugged and abandoned on the spot. I personally know a family
oil company that just had to P&A a well in haynesville shale when the
driller broke off a tool in the horizontal casing. A 9 million dollar
mistake.

Gasland, LOL! Figures. Entirely discredited on every factual basis. By
actual facts. LOL! Gasland!

"Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission, Correcting Gasland:
Gasland incorrectly attributes several cases of water well contamination
in Colorado to oil and gas development when our investigations determined
that the wells in question contained biogenic [naturally-occurring]
methane that is not attributable to such development.

From John Hanger, Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of
Environmental Protection: Gasland is “fundamentally dishonest” and “a
deliberately false presentation for dramatic effect.”

Gasland talks about Dunkard Creek [a massive fish kill] – an environmental
disaster – but everything we know about Dunkard Creek at this point
indicates the primary source of the problem was a coal mine in West
Virginia.

Here's getting back to you:
You should have kept reading. A continuation of that report says:

"The EPA has reported two instances of groundwater contamination from fracking in Wyoming, though the agency has been roundly criticized for its methods."

http://www.forbes.com/sites/christopherhelman/2012/06/22/the-arithmetic-of-shale-gas/

So how's that "It's never happened" doing for you?

And I'm sure you understand the difference between groundwater and aquifer. Will you make the statement that no groundwater or underground water supplies have been contaminated?

Ground water contamination from spills is not what we are talking. I

I love how you assume that since you're a one sided thinker that we are

Don't you have to chemically blast through the same rock whether you are
going "deep" or "shallow"?

The point is that in traditional recovery, oil and gas may be shallow and
fracking can and has caused pollution of well water. Shale it so deep
that that the water found is non drinkable anyway. It's salty and full of
all kinds of nasty stuff. Look at the chemical compensation of steam from
most geo-thermal wells. There are no reported cases of shale fracking
polluting water wells from the actual fracking. There have been chemical
spills and illegal dumping of the used frack fluids just as there has been
for decades of traditional fracking and production. Oil and gas
production is and has always been a dirty business. But modern
technology has reduced the danger to a very low level. Bad actors excluded
(BP anyone?). Read the Yale study, the potential impact of a clean up is
minor compared to the economic boost to the economy.

The knee jerk side of this equation wants you to think that fracking will
cause the end of drinking water. They base this on a sketchy computer
model of fluids percolating up 2 miles into aquifers. The geology and
economics of the shale plays are sound. Where wet gas and oil are found
it's a good investment for operators. Where it's only dry gas the profit
is not there since shale gas has driven the MMBTU cost down so far (from
7.00 in 2008 to 2.80ish today). It won't be until the wet gas plays out
that dry gas will be economical to go after. As Chris Robin points out,
speculators have driven the cost per acre out of reach in many places and
many investors were screwed but that has calmed way down. An acre
(mineral rights) in Haynesville has dropped from 13k down to a couple of
thousand. Eagle Ford lease bonuses peeked at 26K but have been dropping
now the hysteria has calmed own.

This doesn't mean we shouldn't monitor the operators, there have always
been issues with chemical spills and dumping in the industry. Shale is
no different.

You didn't answer my question. Isn't the process of "fracking" using
chemicals to blast through rock to reach energy deposits? Don't I have to
chemically blast through all levels of rock (shallow and deep) and
compromise drinking water whether I'm going shallow or deep? Have you not
seen the piles of eyewitness testimony about destroyed water systems?

It's about the casings breaking at any depth and leaking the poison down the outside of the casings and into water at any depth.

No, to get to the shale they drill, line the hole with steel casing. Then
they drill horizontally and only then do they frack.

More bullshit. The industry itself admits Concrete and metal casings crack and there are chemical migrations up the outside both casings. "... cement and steel casings would inevitably deteriorate and fail over time, resulting in the upward migration of fracking fluids to ground water zones."

But keep selling that "never" and see how that works for you.

As usual, Brian "The Truth" Spencer is 100% correct. As usual, Jerry,
Clave, Opie, and Chrissy are full of shit and do not know what they
are talking about.

The Peak Oil crowd is totally freaked out by fracking and shale gas.
Because if fracking is safe, and there's no evidence it's not, we have
enough natural gas to supply all the energy needs of the USA for the
next 75 years.

Your post about what ruined the Democratic party was right on. The knee
jerk crowd can't stand it that we have found enough oil, gas and
petrochemicals to last for decades. Right in our own back yard. They
read a sketchy report based on a flawed computer model that by some
unexplained magic, frack fluids will percolate up 13,000 feet through
rock, sand, chalk, salt, caliche, and soil to spoil aquifers in the 200 to
800 ft. depth range. For fucks sake. They also pull up old reports about
how SHALLOW fracking that has been done for decades has indeed
contaminated some water and somehow use that as proof shale is evil. They
ignore the Yale report that clearly shows that any surface spills will be
minor economic events compared to the over 100 billion we have already
saved due to lower NG prices. That report shot the NY Times article down
in flames. The Henry Hub price for an MMBTU has dropped from 7.00ish in
2008 to a 2 to 3 dollar range. All due to shale gas. 100 billion dollars
so far. The Eagle Ford Shale oil band in south Texas has more oil than
the Permian basin and East Texas Cotton Valley combined. These fields
have produced for decades. Hell West Texas Intermediate is THE benchmark
oil in the US because of Perimian. And we now have more oil in one shale
play than Permian ever had. And shale is everywhere. Some a lot deeper.


Oh and still not one reported case of shale frack fluid coming up to
pollute water.

Why do the shale detractors hate America?

You can dodge it all you want. You can refuse to address my questions about the states that are outlawing fracking and why. You can keep drinking Big Oil's cool aid. The fact is, Big Oil went to Vice President Dick Cheney and got special approval to go around EPA rules; and special approval not to release the lists of poisons they pump into the ground. This is one of the reasons Big Oil has their bought Republican presidential politicians saying they would close down the EPA.

Were you duped and too embarrassed to admit it? Or are you intentionally lying?

LOL at gasland. I see you did not read the Colorado report debunking
Gasland. Colorado know for it's strong environmental movement no less.

Try this one Jerry

"However, using the same investigative techniques, we concluded that Mike
Markham’s and Renee McClure’s wells contained biogenic gas that was not
related to oil and gas activity. Unfortunately, Gasland does not mention
our McClure finding and dismisses our Markham finding out of hand.
The Markham and McClure water wells are both located in the
Denver-Julesburg Basin in Weld County. They and other water wells in this
area draw water from the Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifer, which is composed of
interbedded sandstones, shales, and coals. Indeed, the water well
completion report for Mr. Markham’s well shows that it penetrated at least
four different coal beds. The occurrence of methane in the coals of the
Laramie Formation has been well documented in numerous publications by the
Colorado Geological Survey, the United States Geological Survey, and the
Rocky Mountain Association of Geologists dating back more than 30 years.
For example, a 1976 publication by the Colorado Division of Water
Resources states that the aquifer contains “troublesome amounts of . . .
methane.” A 1983 publication by the United States Geological Survey
similarly states that “[m]ethane-rich gas commonly occurs in ground water
in the Denver Basin, southern Weld County, Colorado.” And a 2001 report by
the Colorado Geological Survey discusses the methane potential of this
formation and cites approximately 30 publications on this subject."


http://cogcc.state.co.us/library/GASLAND%20DOC.pdf


So water wells drilled trhough coal beds have methane. OMG. Seems the
movie ingnored that. How many other falsehoods were in this movie.

The best part about your cartoon proof Jer is that shale fracking did not
really come of age until after 2008. Most of this cartoon movie points to
traditional fracking that has gone on for decades.


Here is another document. You should read the whole thing. It goes over
a lot of the lies and misrepresentations the cartoon makes.

Like this one where film maker Josh Fox admits he is full of shit in the
name of art.

“I’m sorry,” Josh Fox once told a New York City magazine, “but art is more
important than politics. … Politics is people lying to you and simplifying
everything; art is about contradictions.”


http://www.energyindepth.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Debunking-Gasland.pdf


Jerry, you should really check facts before you use a fictional film as
evidence. Be it a road runner cartoon, Mr Rogers or this piece of crap.

Make that nervous laughter; it's what brought you down.

Now where is that statement of your? Remember?

"There is not one verified case of water contamination from shale fracking."

Care to eat those words again? Care to even repost them after a few of us have proved it wrong? You really have to find a better site for your information; you've been repeatedly lied to.

I asked you for a cite weeks ago and all i got was crickets chirping.
Still hear them in fact.

Bottom line is there is not one reported case of shale fracking fluid
contaminating ground water. Prove me wrong or STFU. Look at Obama's
department of energy report. Not a single case.

How is that made up movie shit working for you Jerry? Maybe the same
place that said Obama will have a 300 billion deficit in his 4th year of
a 2nd term. LO fucking L

You got them, you simply couldn’t address them. All you said was,
"Gasland, LOL." And therein were all the name, addresses, facts and
adjudications. Plus you never addressed why NY and Penn have stopped all
drilling. You got the facts, you just can't address them

> Bottom line is there is not one reported case of shale fracking fluid
> contaminating ground water.

Yet I provided a list and they named the courts and adjudications. You
even mentions some where "operators screwed up."


> Prove me wrong or STFU.

I did, you simply won't STFU and continue to dodge.

Address it or STFU yourself.

Well, well, Stupid Stocking Susan. You're right; he has to 'give it up.' He was wrong and now he can't admit he was given bad information. Probably watching too much FOX; they went to the Supreme Court in order to get their TV employees to lie to him.

What the hell does Brian think all the fuss was about; all those court cases; all those claims; all the states that are now restricting or preventing more fracking; all those poisoned wells; all those settlements? Because there never was a spill or any wells poisoned? NY and Penn stopped drilling because the EPA was doing guess work on what never happened? He even mentioned spills himself. Yet he'll still post that it's never happened?

So go ahead, ssS, entertain us with idiot references to Jessica Rabbit WETF that's about. It shows just how out of touch you are with any thread you stalk me to.

EXCEPT I provided the ultimate site. An actual documentary that was made EXACTLY for that purpose. I could do the searching and name the actual people; document the actual court cases; give the dates times and places, but waste my time for what? Just to have you and dipshit say:

"Oh yea, well we asked for data and except for the data, you didn't show us any data."

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST you're stupid, Susan (sS).

Jerry, please. I’ve posted verified rebuttals to the points in Gasland.
A movie made by an ultra-extremist who admitted art was more important
than facts.

Not to rehash the volumes of facts but here are a few.

I said yes there are bad actors. Spills and illegal dumping. Every
industry has had bad actors.

The Secretary of Energy’s office, Obama’s department of energy issued a
report that said there have been zero cases of fracking in shale polluting
well water. The EPA said there were 2 wells in question in Montana that
were salt water aquifers at extreme depths. 2 out of thousands of wells
and the Department of Energy disputed the science behind those. Again
Obama’s guys. Canada also reports zero cases out of tens of thousands of
wells fracked.

The movie quoted a guy from the state of Colorado who said water wells
were polluted with methane. The state rebutted that and Colorado is known
for its stringent environmental regulation. They said that he was not
even part of the study. They also said the water wells in question were
drilled through 3 coal beds. Coal bed methane in the water. Also the man
in question has fought drilling and mining his whole life. Hardly a valid
source. The movie went with him as an expert.

New York. Seems they are still issuing permits. Hardly a stoppage.

http://www.dec.ny.gov/energy/46288.html


I have to assume you didn’t read any of the reports I linked and quoted.
Otherwise you would at least have some doubts. As we know, “A man hears
what he wants to hear and disregards the rest”. You quote movies, I quote
facts. I’m going with the EPA and Department of Energy. You go with a
filmmaker. You accuse me of dodging but ignore all the factual
evidence. You haven’t commented or rebutted one fact I posted. Go back
and read Jerry.

The good news is Shale drilling and production is alive and well. It has
driven the cost of natural gas down to a point that we have saved over 100
billion in energy costs as of 2011. A car running on NG has an equivalent
cost of 1.88 a gallon. The ultra left will not stop progress as much as
they want to. We have enough new oil reserves to last until a conversion
to NG can be made. Almost all new electric generation plants are NG
fired. We can save the coal until we need it and run the NG plants on
gassified coal. That takes the CO2 out of the equation. How can anyone
be against this? It buys us time to find the eventual non fossil fuel
solutions.
