The sea levels will rise very soon and they won’t be able to drill in open waters.
“California on Cusp of Fracking Boom Bigger than North Dakota”
Not as long as the democRATS run the state.
Holy moley. They mentioned govt scientists so that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. I mean, how wrong could THEY be? A little disturbing was the use of the term “our boy is back”. Shouldn’t somebody be offended? :>}
Maybe they’ll do it at night so nobody can see ‘em.
Won’t the Mexican Government need to approve this, too?
I could point out that fracking activity is taxable and creates jobs and profits which are also taxable. But these are merely logical statements and libtards have a very difficult time with logic.
Yeah.... those nuts are not going to let California start fracking.
When the territory currently known as California USA gets divided up between the People’s Republic of Aztlan and the People’s Republic of China at some point in the not-too-distant future, the frackers will be fracking away in Monterey, and the useful-idiot envirowackos will be on bullet trains headed to the camps.
If fracking could cause California to fall off into the Pacific Ocean, I’m OK with the oilpatch taking the hit.
Petro Ping.
“California could experience an economic boom similar to North Dakota’s oil rush.”
And they will find a way to squander any profits they make.
Not if the party in power has anything to say about it!
Fracking might be a good thing in CAliforny...for the U.S. Maybe it will cause it to fracture off at one of the fault lines and slide into the pacific. Sone cheap dessert land in Nevada would become valuable beach front property.
Got my beach front property in NV already. But, it’ll be a long drop down to the ocean.
Is this Lex Luthor?
That's putting it mildly. From an article on an oil industry site:
The current spate of renewed interest might be a no-brainer, but the Monterey play is no slam-dunk.“The main uncertainty compared to a lot of the other plays is that the Monterey is highly deformed, and we don’t know how extensively fractured the rocks may be off of the tectonic structures where companies have been producing for years,” Behl emphasized.
“If it’s as fractured as the rocks in the higher parts of structures, maybe the oil is lost already and we’re too late,” he noted. “What this means is large areas of the Monterey formation that aren’t associated with the known structural and stratigraphic traps are now open to exploration.
“It’s up to us to come up with a model to find the places where the oil is still there.”
To say California geology is complex is an understatement.
In this region so deformed naturally by tectonic forces, oil is free to migrate, whereas it hasn’t migrated all that much in other shales. The Monterey is an unconventional rock, yet so much of its historical production has been conventional in that the oil has been expelled via the fractures to migrate into conventional traps, e.g. sandstone.
Behl noted that in the Los Angeles area, the Monterey and its equivalent are the primary source of oil, but the reservoirs are much younger turbidite sands.
In other words, the formation is both a resource of migrated oil for conventional production and a reservoir for unconventional production. The reservoir rock itself produced in the Santa Maria Basin as far back as 1900.
No way, that would lower the ocean level.”
But I thought the seas are rising because of all the ice melting. And isn’t New York supposed to be under water in 2015? Maybe fracking would prevent this from happening? This is all soooooooooo confusing.
Maybe if Jeb and Jethro go shootin’ at some food in beverly hills, they might just find some bubblin’ crude.
Amazingly there is some fracking going on in that area. So far it has been low key and the anti’s have been told to back off and shut up.
I think California needs the revenue that the limited fracking provides. Now to do fracking on a grand scale will be too much for the anti’s and I don’t see it happening.
Why not frac with sewer water.
