I know in Louisiana the casing around the water table is like twice as thick as anywhere else, and it tapers down from there.

Before I click the link, is he hot like Erin brockavich?

Everyone who has said this so far fits into one of three categories:
1) Learning Disability
2) Severe lack of reading comprehension.
3) didn't watch the article or read the video

you clearly didn't watch the video cause that guy is stupid

I did watch the video. One the calmer more intelligent presentations on this topic that I've seen.
Not sure what makes him an idiot?

Your surface casing cement is run back to surface.

My phd dissertation was on hydraulic fracturing but I am sure that guy in overalls is an expert on the subject

What does your PhD have to do with anything?
Posted on 3/28/15 at 5:36 pm to Breesus
My PhD had to do with hydraulic fracturing. I thought that was clear from my post.

You posted a worldstarhiphop.com link dude. Really?

Petroleum Engineer. Sorry for the late response. Been working reservoir the majority of my career and analyze fields for a living.

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.

Yeah that's great and all but can you prove a negative that it doesn't affect the water table? I would rather pay more to fill up my car and for other living expenses. Plus it's icky.

Yep. "Because science says so" doesn't mean the same now as it did 15 years ago.

You have got to be trolling

So when people can light their tap water on fire they're just being dramatic?

Yes. Natural gas is found in water all the time, no where near oil and gas wells or frac jobs.
