Mega-sized oil field found in Texas!!

[The T]

Whats so awesome about this forum?

At the end of the day, no matter what is posted up in these pages, I represent the majority............no matter what you're talking. The hyper-angst enviornmental mental cases are seen as just that by the majority = hyper-angst environmental mental cases. Lost souls who got fcukked up in life somewhere along the way and latched onto hysterical causes to make their own lives somewhat more meaningful.

That they project their "cause" as if it is embraced by the masses makes this board nothing less than a fcukking hoot to spend time in.

Indeed... the Enviro-Whackos are nothing but control freak outta-(real)work Commie-bastards Hell-Bent on bringing capitalist societies to their knees because they cannot hold a real job.

Hit the nail on the head T...........these miserable anti-capitalist freaks are universal fcukk-ups who want to blame somebody else for their crappy existence. Im not saying they dont have a job but they spend every day bemoaning having to live around so many people so much more succssful than them. Thats why I have such a fcukking blast on here........because no matter how many gay links they post up, they know their efforts are falling on deaf ears on the political landscape. They know exactly what I mean when I say "the science doesnt matter".........which is why they go back to doing what they do best: distraction. In this case, with canned data. Meanwhile, they navigate life as members of the <21%er Fringe Club.......their minds in a perpetual state of disconnect because they cant fathom..........on any level.........that a huge majority of folks DONT think like they do.

All this makes the miserable even more miserable........and when I take a gandor in here, there is a 100% certainty thats what I'll find. Think about it..........how many newcomers have come in here and have been swayed to join the ranks of the nut cases? 3 or 4? And how many of the curious come in here..........read some threads and realize they look like a fcukking jackass jumping on the k00k bandwagon. Most people dont aspire to be an oddball eccentric.

Yo T......how many of these do you think Rolling Thunder has in his dresser drawer?

Too many...Just add more until it works...

Do right wingers still believe that oil found in this country is "ours"? They still don't know it belongs to the oil companies who lease the land? Unless Republicans once again give the leases away for free.

Same with corn. It belongs to the farmers who own the land.

And wheat too

Right?

fighting for their own enslavement by the coprs

Having air conditioning in summer and heat in winter is the new enslavement

"Energy independence"??????????

Its all over this country but the environmental nuts wont let us find it. Far left inspired regulations result in all of us taking it up the pooper. Awesome.

Neat article. Included the break even poi t of $60 per barrell to frack it. That makes sense.

How much water does this require? How much does the human population of that part of Texas require? Is it a situation like Phoenix and Vegas where there just simply is none? At $90 a barrell for the oil can you pipe water in from the gulf?

Also, Texas has a good number of barren "wastelands", but we just cant ruin the place.

What do places where this fracking is already going on look like?

I mean, just wondering. Sorry to start that F22 poster rage.

Hell, I say if you can get it out w/o needing any outside water then frack baby frack.

If the oil boys need help perhaps we can talk vehicle fuel economy standard increases as a compromise.

If we can provide more oil and keep demand from doing something stupid that should keep our boys in green from having to risk their lives as often.

"a method that uses a high-pressure mix of water, sand and hazardous chemicals."

Typical of the NYT to classify diesel oil as a mysterious 'hazardous chemical'. Every friggen truck on an interstate carries it.

What a worthless newspaper.

What

"According to Halliburton, 98.47 percent of the material its workers use for fracking consists of water and sand, leaving just 1.53 percent for other materials. Some of the chemicals found in Halliburton's fluid mixture include formaldehyde, ammonium chloride, acetic anhydride, methanol, hydrochloric acid, and propargyl alcohol."

In Wheeling they can probably get their water from the river not a deep well so it probably doesnt matter as much there.

Most fracs just use diesel oil. It is cheap. The diesel has traces of methanol, anhydrides, chlorides etc... or they are added so that the service company can claim they have a unique product.

"The chemical that was allegedly on Marshall when he arrived at the Mercy Regional Medical Center, was ZetaFlow, a chemical made by Weatherford. In a copy of its Material Safety Data Sheet&#8212;which details ingredients, health warnings, fire hazards and more&#8212;ZetaFlow contains methanol and two undisclosed "proprietary" compounds. The document also warned that ZetaFlow can be an "immediate" and"chronic" health hazard. Prolonged exposure can cause kidney and liver damage, irritate lung tissue, decrease blood pressure, and result in dizziness and vomiting&#8212;all symptoms Behr experienced according to her medical records. Her physician wrote that her symptoms were "entirely consistent with exposure [to ZetaFlow] from all the information we were able to gather." As for ZetaFlow's impact on the environment, according to its data sheet, "no product information is available.""

Oil & Gas Exploration: Is

Now I like the sound of this "more oil in America" topic.

Just sounds weird that companies go out of their way to "pretend" to put poisons in the ground besides diesel.

 

[uscitizen]

Shaloe oil hoopla. Mostly garbage and scams.

Right?

Never heard of mineral rights and broad form deeds?

 

[Old Rocks]

If this turns out to be viable Texas may just give the US the finger and decide it wants its Republic back.

You fellows tried that once already. Didn't turn out so well, did it.

 

[freedombecki]

That area of Texas is not over the Edwards Aquifer, which is THE major source of water in south central Texas. The question is how much water do they need to do the fracking? We ain't got much to spare, most years.

Well, we have pretty good think tanks around the state. I betcha they can come up with something, since on page 2 of the link at the top of this thread had this bit of local glee stated: "Here in Dimmit County, Tex., the unemployment rate has fallen in half, and sales tax receipts are up 70 percent so far this year, allowing the county to hire more police officers and buy sanitation and road repair equipment. "

Hopefully, water can be piped in that first serves the expanded population of oil workers, families, municipal and educational needs of extra populations, etc, and then can be recycled to do the necessary fracking process.

Walks away whistling, "Texas, our Texas..."

 

[freedombecki]

I can't think of a better place to drill for oil than Texas.

It's basically just barren wasteland anyway so if there is a spill, who cares?

We cleaned up our brownfields when President Bush was governor here. We got this one.

Cool.

Let's get it.

 

[WeyrichWasRight]

People forget the original oil boom happened right here in America-- Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Ohio, etc. There were plenty of fields all over this nation a hundred years ago.

 

[Old Rocks]

That is right. And production peaked in 1970. And continues to decline.

 

[Mr. H.]

That is right. And production peaked in 1970. And continues to decline.

Tell you what- you figure a way to back out 10 million barrels/day of oil imports... just let us take care of the rest. The least we should do is to try and maintain domestic oil and gas production at current levels.

And let's say that some day we would reduce consumption by that 10 million barrels/day... how would the domestic oil and gas industry be treated? Would we continue to try and hammer it into oblivion?
