| The
Gas Well
In
early September 2008 we learned that a company wished to drill
a gas well on our property. Since the mineral rights had been
separated from the surface rights some time in the past and
we just owned the surface rights to our land there wasn't
much we could do about it.
Our
blog
at LiveJournal along with the News
section of this site offers updates as to what is happening.
The Livejournal blog is also an archive of all our past posts
(the News section of this site just retains the most current).
As
of spring 2009 it seems that the company will not be drilling
on our property for the next year or two at least as it focuses
its attentions elsewhere.
The
Existing Gas Well
Devoted to a gas well that already exists between the hard
road and our property.
The
Vac Truck
In February 2009 a bulldozer was used to get a vac truck
to and from the existing well site and we document the damage
done to the earth road.
Reclamation
We discuss, using photographs of actual well sites, the process
of constructing an access road and the site before drilling
to final revegetation.
Gas
Well Study
We examined a number of gas wells in 2008 and 2009 and present
our findings here. The Study is ongoing so other pertinent
information and updates will be available here also.
Drilling
Waste Management
We've been collecting materials and presenting information
about drilling waste management for our blog
and we've begun to tie everything together here.
