[QUOTE="MULDOON, post: 191283, member: 445"] Those wells will be drilled. If you are the land owner , you can , and should have the oil company , agree to repair the land , after they drill it(get it in writing) I have drilled more then a few wells in the Barnett shale formation, Every well that I was on , was drilled within the rules set by the Texas railroad Commision, T hey are in charge of all wells that are drilled in Texas, You have to get a permit from them before you can drill. You have to have a planned proposal showing how deep , and exactly what direction you plan to drill. By law you have to set casing and cement the casing after you drill thru the water tables. This is the law!! I have seen where the drilling rig lost drilling pipe and since they were in the water table area, they could not abandon the project, They had to continue to Fish for the junk they had left in the hole. Refering to the salt water , that salt water came from the well , The formation below the barnett shale is called the " Ellenburger"these oil companies spend a ton of money on Geologist , and use logs that they have from nearby wells to try to figure out exactly where this formation is , so that they can stay out of it.The reason they want to stay out of tis formation is because they don't want to produce this "Salt Water" The guy that was dumping that salt water should have been taking it to a " Disposal well" Where it can be injected back in to the same formation. I'm sure that they were taking short cuts , trying to save time & money, To bad a few bad apples give every body else a bad name. Bottom line , if you are going to have a well drilled on your property, get it in writing that they will repair the land, Usually land owners can prosper by getting a new water well drilled , cattle guards & gates installed , and have the oil companies plant grass on the area when they are done. I would also make sure you agree to having a reputable oil company I've made this wat to long , Later,, Bill [/QUOTE]
