You have all the answers. The wells themselves aren’t freezing. The wellheads on the Haynesville Shale wells would burn your hand to the touch. They make a lot of salt water from frac flowback and when the tanks fill up, they have to be emptied. The trucks were (are) unable to get in on the lease roads. Also, multiple compressor stations have gone done on pipelines. Also, gas wells aren’t pumped unless they are stripper wells. Better learn a more about the business before you cast stones.

I live right on top the one of the largest gas deposits in the country and it gets to zero every winter. The difference is we have our pumps winterized and our wellheads do not freeze up because we have systems in place to make sure freezing does not happen.
Texas was caught off guard thinking sub zero temps would never happen. Their own Dec 7th or 9-11 moment.
