There’s a terminal out in the country we drive past where I think that stuff is injected. You can smell it for a mile around depending on the wind direction. Don’t know how the few folks living in the area can stand it.

I sure hope it’s not the actual gas. LOL Might go boom.

I used to work at a refinery that had a chemical plant adjacent that made mercaptans. My office was in the chemical plant office building. It was pretty amazing how bad that can smell when they are loading the railcars. And they have all sorts of controls on the loading, etc. to keep the leakage of the chemicals to near nil. Very strong chemicals, mercaptans. I don’t think I would want to be around if there was a leak of them, anywhere... But, unbelievably, you do get “used to it” to a certain extent. We kept apples in our cars, as they would absorb the smell...
