Didn't. How did it go? Been fracking around here 35 years or so and never had a single issue with it.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

I have so many of these anti-Fracking morons living around me. It drives me crazy.
The film "Promised Land" was shot here. The local idiots were all agog over Matt Damon, et all coming to town to 'save' them from the evil gas companies. Funny, I have yet to see any of them disconnect their house from the gas line?

no chit....even if the well thats causing issues here was fracked, it woulda happened without that being done......the casing was done poorly and even without added pressure it woulda failed....someone did a piss poor job and either didnt catch it or said fug it lets see if it will hold and [bleep] up a bunch of ground water in the process....
but out of all the holes drilled up here over 60 years thats the only issue i know about....

I have a high school classmate that was featured in Gasland in Colorado. She is a died-in-the wool socialist and somehow convinced the drilling company to give her a settlement. Somehow, though the groundwater is not too contaminated for her to build a brand new house on the same land and drop another well, paid for by the drilling company. It just so happens that the land she bought had a well that had gas in it. She seems oblivious that natural gas and water can occasionally be in the same place and that water can be naturally contaminated by lots of things, not just gas. Sometimes people get a bad well. In our area, there is a whole subdivision with non-potable water under it. That's why the land isn't worth a tinkers damn. She never had the water tested in the well before she bought the property and spent years trying to blame the problem on drilling rather than her own [bleep] stupidity.
The Colorado Oil and Gas Commission determined that no other wells in the area were contaminated and none of the 26 oil and gas wells in the surrounding area were leaking or were the cause of the methane in her well.

Yeah, kind of like Gillette.
I remember flying with my dad into Gillette and we went into town, this was like in 1975, we sat down to eat and the waitress comes over and asks us if we wanted water with our meal? Um, why do you ask? Well, it's pretty bad. Okay, let's have a glass.
Wow....it was horrible stuff and that was city water.

They fracked all over East, TX. No problems that I have heard of. Nominal depth of the wells was around 10,000 feet and the average water well is 40-60 feet.

methane occurs naturally in lots of places, and drilling can have nothing to do with it being there.
