You know thackney, you just conferred wisdom and knowledge on a speculation of a speculation.
Color me skeptical about your judgement and contribution.
You appear to have ‘some’ good knowledge about the oil and gas industry. So do many others.
You appear to have some experience inside the federal government. So do I.
But I think you are positioned down low in the bushes unable to see beyond the forests around you.
But what wisdom and knowledge do you confer on the witness of a large militarized federal convoy with gunships leanding and tailing and helicopters circling overhead? Or is that also nonsense? Are you calling me and my business partner liars?
Conferring wisdom and knowledge on a speculator of speculation, what a crock!
If you post a thread and ask for comments, don’t attack those who come in and make well-informed observations if you want this thread to stay up.
I do not pretend this is about me.
I would expect the different drill heads were taken in different directions out many miles from each other and many miles deep. When all well heads gushed (if truely reported), this would give credence to an ‘ocean of oil’.
Plus, the six wells reached 22,000 ft depth.
Understand what you're claiming here. First, six wellheads on one pad is an unusually large pad. But feasible. Six rigs working on one pad at the same time is, more than likely, something that has never happened. Fact is, here in the Barnett, I don't believe I've ever seen two rigs on the same multi-well pad at the same time.
Second, they're drilling over two miles below the producing horizons, into the basement rock -- unlikely to contain any reservoirs of oil.
Third, since all six were said to be drilling horizontally away from their surface location, the wellheads are not sitting on "an OCEAN of oil" -- instead, they are sitting on "an ISLAND". In the precise center of a perfectly DRY island, so to speak -- located in the midst of your "OCEAN of oil".
In which case, how (and why) did the geologists manage to locate the drilling pad where they did?
A very curious operation your associate discovered...
Fictional, delusional, and full of falsehood. How's that? Mistaken would be just a mite too generous at this point.
I'd quit while I was ahead..if I was you.
I don't think anyone here has called you a liar yet....just calling your info into question.
You questioned some of your own "observations"..and asked what fellow FReepers thought.
Well, guess what...you got some replies.
