RALEIGH, N.C. - The gas-drilling process known as "fracking" will be authorized in North Carolina now that the General Assembly has overridden Gov. Beverly Perdue's veto of a bill that sets rules and regulations for the form of shale gas production.

I am not totally familiar with the Triassic of the Eastern Seaboard but in the 1980’s, there was some deep drilling in what was called the Newark Basin. From what I remember, there aren’t any associated source beds as the rocks are similar to what is being deposited in something like the Dead Sea of today. It was a rift-valley with either a freshwater lake or a very salty inland sea that filled it. Although, there are some freshwater lakes that have served as source rocks in the Uinta Basin in the Rockies and elsewhere around the globe. Those USGS studies are put out by the same type of people who seek grant money for global warming studies on spotted owls. But, as the saying in our profession goes, where oil (and gas) are ultimately found is in the minds of men. Someone with deep pockets just needs to poke a few more holes in the ground. With natural gas prices in the toilet for the foreseeable future, it may be a few decades away.
Somebody probably told her Justice John was taking care of everything......
Did they have global warming back then? I mean with all the dinosaur farts and all :)
The Left has been told that fracking is bad, so it now becomes an Article of the True Faith.
The faith of snake handling evangelicals is no match for the faith of a Leftist Enviromentalist.
“...It is a “process” that is done after drilling is completed. It is done for both oil and gas wells....”
Amen and thank you!!
I’m sitting here in my office in the middle of the Eagle Ford.
139 wells in the whole state of NC? That’s just barely a good start for a small area over here. The next stabilizer I’m working on will take this one facility alone to almost 25,000 bbls/day with a future potential to over 50,000 bbl/day.
Man, I just love the smell of fresh oil condensate first thing in the morning with a flow back well flare to light up the dawn!!! It’s the smell and view of capitalistic money...the kind the lib commies absolutely and vehemently deplore. Just the very thought of the common American man or woman making a decent buck for their families just drives em even more insane. Screw em....bring me some more frack sand, please!!!!! Lord, I love this business!!!!
NC has 47 elected idiots.
The gas-drilling process known as "fracking"
If only someone would think up a centralized process where the government could educate us all. Then things like this wouldn't keep happening. ;-]
Eat some bad NC BBQ and you’ll have all the “frackable gas” you can handle. (I don’t like it vinegary).
NC House to Governor Perdue: “Frack You.”

I just watched “Gasland” tonight.
