Wow that was sooooo neat!

He sure showed them. I'm sure they'll wipe their tears away with $100 bills as they go to sleep in one of their vacation homes that dwarfs The White House.

what an idiot. fracking is not done anywhere near water depth.

You realize the White House residence isn't THAT big, right?

Oh really?
Do the chemicals used have no way to get to the water?

Do you really expect me to take you serious when your link is blocked on my school internet? This internet only blocks really really way out there sites or porn.

no. water zones are typically near 1000 to 5000'
petroleum payzones are anywhere near 10-20k feet.

Even shallower than that my friend. Water table in west Texas is around 20ft.

Casing is there to protect the water table. If you don't know what casing is STFU

I wouldn't drink that water... just like I wouldn't drink water straight from a lake or river

This is true. Most hyraulic fracturing occurs at depth below 7000'. Economic water sources are only taken at depths up to 1000'. No one is drilling a drinking water well beyond 200' in most areas because of costs. Also hydraulic fractures extend a maximum of 1000' (this is VERY rare as usual vertical fracturing extends at a maximum 200') vertically due to anisotropy and natural pressure gradients. As most don't know hydraulic fracturing is just as the term suggests, fracturing with WATER. The only way a water source could be polluted by oil and gas is with a poor cement job, which is monitored by most states. In this case, hydraulic fracturing fluid is not the issue, but potential gas can creep behind the cement to infiltrate the water source. I have never seen this occur personally, but it's the only technical possibility. Most states would force the operator to do a top job if the cement bond log doesn't come out crisp.
Also, this guy is way off, surface flow and subsurface flow of water are on different wavelengths in regards to speed. You're talking real time to geologic time (6 mph vs. 6 miles per year). There is no pressure differential in the subsurface to FORCE water flow at an accelerated rate. Plus this would mean your water source was outcropping at the surface for a recharge zone. Look at your pool filters, they are sand filters. If you don't think sand is an excellent filtration system, you are moronic. That's the reason why we use sandstones as our drinking water sources.
If you would like to make an argument, please familiarize yourself with the facts first. These uninformed folk are just like the media. Preaching an agenda versus actuality.

He's full of shite but good for him I guess.

Best explaination covering everything.
Let me guess geologist?? As a fellow petroleum engineer, I could have said it better myself

yea around the water table in lousiana, casing is thick as frick. I'd be more worried about the well pits contaminating the water than I would fracking

A vacation house that dwarves the size of The White House would be pretty impressive. I forget I'm on the OT though. The place where nobody would bang Kate Upton.

Exactly. Casing is run and I believe regulations require that top of cement be above any water zones.
