Being the speaker just after Mr. Ed, I asked him if the 21 tpd included the (often excluded) start up, maintenance and shut down emissions that the PBR forgives. He did not answer me as I turned & waited for his answer as TCEQ let him off the hook and said we could discuss that later. But I wished I would have been anal and stood there using my time and pushing him to answer. Now I pose this very same question to ERG if they are including these emission estimates. I wonder how many of the 388 sites were in the start up phase? We need to know what those emissions are and apply that to the over 1200 producing wells for a historical perspective. Then we need maintenance records of all the compressor station’s emissions during filter changes and blow downs and estimate “those” emissions. THEN we can say what we have been emitting and can make future projections because Chesapeake has recently notified mineral holders that they will keep about 20 rigs in North Texas and has a goal of drilling almost 400 more wells this year!

We had planned to stay quiet this election season until we saw Mike Walker accuse his opponent Joy Bowen of being pro drilling. Seriously, are you kidding?No matter how you feel about gas drilling, the Flower Mound Oil and Gas ordinance must be followed. That is why we fought so hard to make it stronger. If a pad site meets the criteria in the ordinance, it […]
Peter Gorman of The Fort Worth Weekly has written a great article about the Shale Bust. Many of us saw this coming. He brought up some interesting facts and pointsWe have seen production from local wells drop significantly. They have brought in gas lift compressors to "squeeze the blood out of the turnip". The wells, especially in “sweet spots” lik […]

I wanted to make everyone aware of Texas House Bill 2828, which would essentially remove a municipality's ability to regulate ANY aspect of the natural gas pipeline industry. This would include above ground appurtenances such as compressors and treating equipment. This bill is being labeled as preventing each town from implementing different safety s […]
