Free fuel. Get a generator and get paid for feeding power back into the grid form the free gas to power the generator. There are lots of places on earth where oil and gas come out of the ground.

Mnay wells have some natural gas in them. Not far from here, where there are no oil or gas wells, a woman was killed several years ago when her laundry room exploded. She had a load in her electric dryer at the time.

The cause was natural gas in the well. The well had a vent on it for this but wasps had plugged it.

"The Railroad Commission guy told me, 'Yeah, it's coming in your well, up through your well,'"

Did he mention it was coming up through the well?

Did they check with the Airport Commission first prior to releasing this information?

Someone needs to go to Bowie and set up a little company that will sell and install a gadget in each home that will obtain and extract the gas from the water, right as the water reaches the house, together with piping to route the gas to a storage tank for the energy for heat and hot water, along with another pipe from the storage tank through a meter connected to the utility company’s natural gas grid - for selling the excess to the utility company.

Methane is everywhere in the subsurface. Most likely this well was contaminated from a natural biogenic source and if it had been properly tested it could have been distinguished from deep gas coming from natural gas production. As an example look at the case history of this in Maine and New Hampshire where there are ZERO gas production wells and yet while drilling a water well the drilling rig exploded from methane gas coming from granite: In August 2004, a commercial drill rig was destroyed by ignition of an explosive gas released during the drilling of a domestic well in granitic bedrock in Tyngsborough, MA.
