re: Nebraska Man Offers Fracking Polluted Water To Oil & Gas Commissioners!

The latest issue is E&Ps are finishing their drilling schedules but not completing the wells. They leave the plug stages in and will wait for commodity prices to come back up to a profitable level. This means that fluid is left in the well bore and there are severe corrosion concerns. So when the plugs are drilled out and the well is completed the production string could be eaten up by Microbiologically Induced Corrosion and acid gas corrosion.

MIC is the "new" hot button issue in the industry and there is an arms race of service companies hiring microbiologists to craft proactive services to deal with this.
