I do know the language. The game has changed, there is new terminology and new people. Just because you’ve been in the oil patch for some years does not confer ownership of words and phrases that people in the field use today. Do a quick internet search and you will see a good number of people using the term ‘fracking lease’ to describe an oil and gas lease where hydraulic fracturing is applied.

The reason people are now using the terms ‘fracking lease’ is because it is different than a regular oil and gas lease because it utilizes chemicals that environmentalists say pollutes ground water. I know ground water is not polluted by current fracking standard drilling but I know for sure the return water is nasty as hell. I’ve seen it on site.

I sense you’ve had oil and gas experience but no fracking experience, am I right? Yeah I’m right.

I sense you are trying desperately to shout me down, despite the fact that I KNOW what I am talking about. I have been in on the evolution of unconventional reservoir development, and keep up with terms and techniques not only through direct involvement but through the trades as well.

So Mr. High and mighty "Fracking lease guy" do you happen to have an urge to buy a bridge, too?

Piss off, I know what I am talking about, and it is ever obvious you don't.

I have seen idiots use the terms "fracking rig" "fracked oil" and an interesting assortment of other nonsense, and,. just damn, all of that came straight from the lurid bowels of the pop media who couldn't explain a frac job if their life depended on it.

Bye, now, and have a nice day.

Oh one last shot. Here are four different webpages using identical terminology to yours (and to each other), trying to blame what happened in Nevada on oil companies (conservative) to divert blame from environmentalists and crooked pols (Liberal). How convenient to trot out the boogeyman with the latest in inflammatory language.

Now, I suppose it' is possible that the usual suspects might come up with a coordinated effort to twist the issue away from the Obamites, but the similarity in wording on these pages is a mite more than mild.

Try Rigzone, Oil and Gas Journal, or some other reputable source for industry info next time, willya?
