I am involved in the hydraulic fracturing industry or ‘fracking’. I know that fracking is an explosive technique to enhance oil production for a well head. I refer to ‘frack land’ as land that can be available for fracking leases:
http://www.naturalnews.com/044670_BLM_lies_fracking_leases_Bundy_ranch.html#
The above link references that fracking leases are behind the Bundy conflict. The link has a further link to the following map document:
http://www.naturalnews.com/files/Petroleum-Data-Clark-County-Nevada.pdf
and claims that it “shows significant exploratory drilling being conducted in precisely the same area where the Bundy family has been running cattle since the 1870’s.”
and further that
“The “Gold Butte” area is indicated on the lower right corner of the document (see below), and it clearly shows numerous exploratory drilling operations have been conducted there.”
and further again that:
“What’s also clear is that oil has been found in nearby areas and possibly even within the Gold Butte area itself.”
Now I know that no single person has a handle on all the fracking that’s going on in the USA nor does anyone know where all the pipelines are both new and old and also in construction. And this is for reasons of regional security and national security.
So your assertion that only Wells NV is involved is a partial blinded view from all that is happening because in this industry people and officials hold a lot of information close to their vests.
It appears also that another motivation behind the conflict are the interests of Harry Reid, his son Rory and the Chinese with their offer to install a 5-billion dollar solar plant facility on the land that the Bundy cattle graze on.
This is what I know and believe:
1. The Saudis are losing sleep at night with the prospect of the Bakken development and its proven reserves of more than 10 times those of Saudi Arabia as well as other plays that are forecast to yield significant production. The Saudis will use their money and influence anywhere to shut down American fracking developments.
2. Environmentalists have threatened to ‘crucify’ Obama if he grants a presidential permit for oil to ship via pipeline between the USA and Canada. This information comes from a top manager from one of the USA’s largest logistics companies. What ‘crucify’ means I can only guess that it may have to do with allowing investigations and impeachments to move ahead if Obama doesn’t comply with fascist environmentalist demands. And these so-called environmentalists are not really environmentalists per se, they are fascists like Soros who use the EPA as a tool to restrain the USA and to garner control for themselves.
3. The global currency reset that is believed will be kicked off on July 1 of this year will have each nation’s currency based on its resource assets and its liabilities. Combine this information that China and Russia want to knock down the US Dollar as the reserve currency behind the global oil trade and we see a motive for taking US ‘Frack Lands’ off the table as a national asset for valuation of the US Dollar.
4. Throw in the pitiful and ludicrous environmental support of the desert turtle and we see that there is plenty of motive and intent behind the Bundy conflict.
5. Harry Reid and son appear to be implicated in a Chinese solar deal that is claiming that cattle grazing is damaging to their impact offsets.
Put all the above together and it appears the motives behind this conflict stink.
In Washington State? Give me a break.
Your misuse of industry terminology indicates to me you are a fraud. A wellhead is a piece of hardware, no matter where it sits, and explosives are not used in fracking, at least not in these parts.
While I haven't worked in Nevada in 20 years, I have worked in the oil industry for 35 years and I have never heard a DRILLING LEASE called a "fracking lease".
When I leased out my own minerals, the word "fracking" wasn't on the paperwork anywhere. So excuse me if I think you are full of it.
prior lease sales and upcoming BLM lease sales in Nevada
While it has been a while since I worked wells in Nevada, the major production was in Eureka County (Blackburn Field) and over by Ely, Grant Canyon, and Railroad Valley. The source rock is the Chainman Shale, and I would think that might be the primary target of interest. More information on that here
Note that the areas of greatest interest are in Eastern Nevada.
I am a geologist who has experience in states from Nevada to North Dakota, and have been working the Bakken play from pretty much day one. The only well I worked in Southern Nevada (about 20 miles south and east of Groom, Nevada) was a dry hole, devoid of the organic rich shale and devoid of any oil or gas shows.
Here is a list complete to 2008 of wells in Nevada, and just scanning down the Clark County list of Abandoned and Plugged and Abandoned wells, the last was done in 1989.
So don't try to shout me down with Natural News links (one of which did not work), if you have some real data, post a link. Lease Sales are a matter of public record.
Speaking as someone who has worked in the oil/gas industry for decades, as well as owning a few different mineral leases, you use some very strange terms.
