No! Evil! Fire BAD!
These dumbasses still don’t get it, do they? Obama and his Envirofascists will never, ever, EVER allow domestic drilling again until the cities go dark.
There are numerous shallow fields where as I don't think people have bothered to look deeper.
The example was the Carlsbad Field (Tom Green county) in the early 80's. It was producing at 8K ft since the 50's until a independent came in 30 years latter and found another zone below at 10K ft of the same size and reserve.
About 60 completions were achieved and drilling moved elsewhere with out anyone looking for what was below that second zone.
The old Ranger Field has been worked to death at the 4-5K ft depth with little information of what's below that zone. Every few years one might see a lone thumper truck working a small lease but nothing on a larger scale.
I think a small lizard is going to hold this up.
my son started work in the Permian Basin this spring, so drill baby drill!
Ping. Let’s start poking more holes.
