Why Barnett Shale URBAN Drilling is ba a c c k

So if you live by a gas drilling padsite in Arlington, it could become active again due to Chesapeake walking away from its pipeline provider debt and the new owners (Total E & P Burnett LLC) committing to production throughput starting in 2019….(https://barnettshalehell.wordpress.com/2018/01/30/why-barnett-shale-urban-drilling-is-ba-a-c-c-k/) by either opening existing shut in wells and refracking (see video on this post) or drilling new wells and fracking…

….either way…silica dust flying ladened with NORM isn’t good for the lungs…..send council an email asking them to uphold our 600 ft buffer in our ordinance so that future wells (ask them to deny drillzones) may not be approved on those numerous padsites where they allowed up to 300 ft….here are their email addresses… Jeff Williams <jeff.williams@arlingtontx.gov>; Robert Shepard <robert.shepard@arlingtontx.gov>; Lana Wolff <lana.wolff@arlingtontx.gov>; Kathryn Wilemon <kathryn.wilemon@arlingtontx.gov>; Sheri Capehart <sheri.capehart@arlingtontx.gov>; Michael Glaspie <michael.glaspie@arlingtontx.gov>; Charlie Parker <charlie.parker@arlingtontx.gov>; Trey Yelverton <trey.yelverton@arlingtontx.gov>; Victoria Myers <victoria.farrar-myers@arlingtontx.gov>; “roxanne.thalman@arlingtontx.gov” <roxanne.thalman@arlingtontx.gov>; Jim Parajon <jim.parajon@arlingtontx.gov>

It was reported that Chesapeake left the Barnett Shale to “escape almost $2 billion in onerous pipeline contracts”. Bloomberg reported that Williams Partners plan to revitalize drilling in the Barnett Shale by a conditional gas gathering arrangement in “tying the monthly fees it charges for gathering and delivering fuel to the price of gas traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange”.

This is a reminder to council that once you approve the drillzone that all other subsequent wells that could fit on that property will be administratively approved with no more public input. While HB40 purports that Home Rule Cities can have the discretion to control above ground actions, the rejection of this drillzone/three more wells will set the tone that Arlington is serious about having local control and adherence to our 600 ft setback as specified in our ordinance. Thalman and Parker have made statements to such effect as well as another councilperson recently acknowledging to me “nobody likes fracking”. 

Please see attached in what appears to be playground equipment just over 200 feet from the storage tank battery and downwind from predominant wind directions….

Please support our 600 ft setback ordinance, thank you. What follows is the cut and paste from the pipeline/midstream company, Williams which explains why they are ba a c c k…

Barnett Agreements (boldfaced for emphasis)

“The conditional Barnett agreements provide accelerated upfront cash payments to Williams Partners totaling $754 million, as well as new terms and conditions under which Williams Partners will provide gas gathering services to a new Barnett producer customer (Chesapeake’s successor in the Barnett) through 2029.

Williams Partners expects the combination of $754 million in up-front cash proceeds and the on-going cash flows generated by gathering services provided to the new Barnett producer customer, to represent equivalent net present value of cash flows as compared to Williams Partners’ expectations of Chesapeake’s performance under the existing agreement. Cumulative undiscounted cash flows for the years 2016-2019 are expected to be approximately $240 million lower, and higher thereafter, as a result of the conditional agreement.

By eliminating Chesapeake’s MVC payments and establishing monthly gathering rates at a percentage of NYMEX Henry Hub settlement prices through the end of 2029, the conditional gas gathering agreement will bring drilling back to the Barnett Shale and return wells determined to be uneconomic under earlier gathering rates to production. The Barnett gathering area is expected, therefore, to realize additional drilling and improved volumes, enhancing Williams Partners’ long-term competitive position. Importantly, the new Barnett producer customer will commit to an annual $40 million drilling commitment through 2018, as well as a commitment to fund all incremental well connects and growth capital.

It is expected that Williams Partners’ existing gathering agreement including MVC (Minimum Volume Commitment) obligations with a third-party producer, who has a 22 percent working interest in the Barnett production, will remain unchanged through mid-2019 and then may be adjusted thereafter”.

Subject: Wednesday, How to find peer reviewed health studies on fracking (TEDX)

 

Hello Kim,

This week we’re hosting a webinar to show you how to access studies on the health impacts of fracking.

Our guest is Kim Schultz, Oil and Gas Program Coordinator for the Endocrine Disruption Exchange, and she’s going to show us the FrackHealth database, a new new tool by TEDX for finding peer-reviewed health studies on fracking.

The database goes beyond citations to include details on health effects, exposure routes, chemicals, and more as reported in the article.

Join us for this live webinar on Wednesday, 1:00pm – 1:30pm EST (lunchtime depending on where you are) to see how it all works.

Signup here for the webinar – “Using the FrackHealth Database from TEDX” (free webinar).

Kim studies the potential health impacts from exposure to chemicals introduced and released during oil and natural gas extraction and production. She has extensive experience aggregating, managing, and analyzing data from diverse sources. Kim has worked for TEDX in the Colorado office since 2009.

Wednesday, January 31st from 1 – 1:30pm E.T.

Once you register, you’ll be able to see the live webinar and access the replay.

I hope to see you there!
