10 steps to Safer Drilling
I live at ground zero for urban drilling.
We have about 60 padsites in our 99 sq mile town here in Arlington TX.Our state and local government will not enforce these two laws….
1) TEX LG. CODE ANN. A§ 253.005 : Texas Statutes – Section 253.005: LEASE OF OIL, GAS, OR MINERAL LAND
“(c) A well may not be drilled in the thickly settled part of the municipality..”2. Texas Administrative Code, Title 30, Part 1, Chapter 101, Subchapter A,
Rule 101.4, Environmental Quality, NuisanceNo person shall discharge from any source whatsoever one or more
air contaminants or combinations thereof, in such concentration and
of such duration as are or may tend to be injurious to or to adversely
affect human health or welfare, animal life, vegetation, or property, or
as to interfere with the normal use and enjoyment of animal life, vegetation, or property.
———————————We had a drill spill in Lake Arlington, our drinking source, back in 2010. We also have about 100 drilling laterals under our lake that are at migration risk for seismic events and or cement failures.
We have had maybe a dozen gas release emission events over the last few years that I am aware of.
The following are the items lacking in our URBAN oil and gas drilling ordinance………………..
1. ELECTRIC power versus localized polluting from Natural Gas or Diesel powera. Mandate electric drilling rigs,b. Mandate electric frac pumps http://evolutionws.com/c. Do not use diesel or NG fired lift compressors that use dirty field gas, rather use electric submersible pumps, http://www.upwingenergy.com/applications
d. Mandate electric compressor stations, but have back up power in the event of electric outages.e. Replace gas-assisted glycol pumps with electric pumps2. Video tape ALL cement casing pours when the cement comes back up to the top through the annulus so that there is proof of an even pour and ensure all wells have electric bond log tests.3. All drilling mud farming and brine “road spraying” should have application sites’ soil & groundwater tested for toxins and NORM. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQTtI94GGd8&feature=player_embedded4. During fracking where the radioactive silica dust is flying around, we need the industry to contain the dust to OSHA 2016 standards at 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air averaged during an 8-hour shift. Currently, the oil & gas industry is getting preferential treatment to not have to be in compliance until June 23 2021. There is no entity looking out for the residential silica exposures, only worker exposures. Here is a video of what the silica exposures during fracking look like, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SF7fkgzmgO0&feature=youtu.be4. Ban the use of Hydrofluoric and Hydrochloric Acid for less caustic treatments such as chelants.5. Mandate flowback tanks that have vent lines that can be connected to vapor recovery/capture systems or combustion devices (gas-busters) https://dalboholdings.net/frac-tanks/tanks. Here is a video of what happens in our backyards in Arlington….. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdKoeBvUHys&feature=player_embedded.6. Blowdowns of compressors whose excess goes to the storage tanks should have Vapor Recovery Systems rather than venting. Here is a Lake Arlington tank battery emitting VOC’s 24/7….https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBFRYpEs3sc7. The pipeline should be in place FIRST before fracking, and flowback should occur immediately after so that injected water/chemicals don’t sit in the ground for months festering bacterial sulfide growth to sour/damage the well and sicken people…..https://barnettshalehell.wordpress.com/2012/03/05/slammed-with-sudden-nausea-from-flowback-odors-business-womans-blood-pressure-soars-after-vomiting8. The setback away from people should be substantial. Rural method drilling is not acceptable in urban areas. An environmental tester who has a Phd said that the health effects are being seen downwind from about 1,800 – 2,500 feet. Local and state government need to test for methane leaks with FLIR cameras. https://barnettshalehell.wordpress.com/2012/09/05/envir-tester-ph-d-master-public-health-on-fracking-emissions-fallout-distance-1800-2500-feet-of-the-downwind-effect /9. Equip City gas well inspectors with an infrared camera to view invisible VOC’s and have operators fix their leaks.10. Use phage therapies instead of dangerous gluteraldehydes to control festering bacteria and offensive odors. https://barnettshalehell.wordpress.com/2016/02/16/dont-bank-on-phage-fixn-well-souring/Lets elect officials that will ensure a protective Oil & Gas Drilling oversight. This is in our “collective” power so we must all become active to be proactive because reactive measures are too costly.
