attracting development?
Was this a typo?
Some states, not all of them.
OPEC funded academic zealots preaching to dumbocrat states. ALGore wizardry.
“...concerns led New York legislators to extend the state’s moratorium on the practice until 2015...”

Is there no worry that someone else will drink their milkshake?
As I understand this study, it made no recommendations. It was simply a gathering of information of what the different states have done so far in related regulations. It includes work from places like Texas that mostly improve the ability of this business to take place.
World records for horizontal extended reach of oil drilling is about 8 miles. There is a lot of effort to document and then publicly record the location of the horizontal laterals. Any oil company risking drilling outside the permit and legal mineral leases would like get all their operations shut down in the state. Not to mention intense scrutiny from IRS and everyone nearby every previous lease. There are not enough dollars to be made in those few miles to be worth the risk of all operations and effectively being shut out of the business.
Tight sphinctered single women are exerting their fears and projecting them on pliable legislators intent on doing something.
Fracking is the cause de jour
Along with the OPEC-funded Matt Damon movie demonizing fracking.
“For example, New York State has introduced 10 new bills – the largest number of any state – as environmental concerns led New York legislators to extend the state’s moratorium on the practice until 2015. “
Idiots. Keep voting for Democrats.
Thanks!
Just seems to me (a non-petro layman) that natural gas pressure from two adjacent formations would seek a balance and gas would naturally migrate from the untapped towards the tapped.
Remember that the rock of these formations are so tight, they have to create cracks via hydraulic fracturing to get the gas to flow at a worthwhile rate.
After eons, it would like equalize pressure over small areas, but there isn’t enough connectivity in the pores that hold the gas to significantly drain gas outside the immediate drilling area.
Bad policy for the states that ban it and the country, but the states that don’t will benefit because it will help keep the price up. Maybe my strpper wells can hang on for few more years. :-)
Thanks, again!
Well, considering that the original oil leases were for “straight-down” drilling ... sometimes with the nearest well literally sitting within the legs of the first well drilled, rules for leases and oil rights need to be reviewed. Prudently reviewed, if that were possible in today’s liberal states.
But New York, NH, Mass, and the like HATE passionately ANY and ALL “oil” products and oil wells and oil companies and oil profitability more than they hate Christians and conservatives and family values - both hated more easily evil and by hate-filled eastern bigots perhaps because they are associated with oil states and rural hicks! 8<)
After all, isn’t the northeast ideal and idyllic-life in graceful ease on the outdoor cafes of wine and bicycles-filled sidewalks of socialistic France?
Rules have been updated for horizontal reach drilling. The simplest change is the old rules of distance from the vertical well now apply to the horizontal reach.
“But New York, NH, Mass, and the like HATE passionately ANY and ALL “oil” products and oil wells and oil companies and oil profitability “
Perhaps if we cut off their suppy for a winter they might have a change of attitude. :-)
Does you wife know you've been drilling strippers?
