That post is ridiculous and the author doesn’t have a clue what he is talking about.
It comes from the site "Oildrum" where the industry professionals get together and talk about industry issues. It's been quoted several times by other FReepers on several different threads.
I would rather take the word of industry professionals who are working in the field and discussing this issue among themselves, than many of the posters here on Free Republic ... :-)
Well I am a completions engineer with Baker Atlas and have been in the industry for the last 5 years. If you wish to post nonsense which was obviously created to stir up emotions of those who do not take the time to actually research how an oil well is drilled and completed I guess you are free to do so.
