So this morning marked the 16th earthquake this month

Lol at comparing a engine with 100s of precision parts to a geological formation. Plus, there is already water in most of those formations.

Injection wells are nothing like draining oil from an engine and replacing it with water.

Casualties of the energy war. I'm willing to sacrifice a few houses (as long as mine isn't one!) for cheap gas.

Link to houses that exploded ?

I know of only one, and it was caused by a leaking natural gas line in the house itself.

Well the railroad commission held a town meeting for an hour and a half and didn't say 1 word. What a huge waste of fucking time. It was just citizens voicing their opinions. So far the count is up to somewhere around 30 since the first of November. Although the last week we have only had 1 and coincidently most of the rigs have been slower during the holidays. I think it's all the injection wells. You can't drain the oil out of your engine and replace it with water and expect it to run normal. My biggest worries are the gas lines. There has already been 3 houses explode that were related to gas lines.

There's already a big 5'x4' sink hole in Springtown. They need to figure out what exactly is causing it and put a stop to it before the big one happens.

I don't think the geology in the area will facilitate a large earthquake.

A coworker felt it in Springtown.

I felt it around midnight. I live across the street from the south end of eagle mountain lake.

We just felt one here in Saginaw about 20 min ago, freaked me the Fuck out. It happened one mile North of Azle it was a 3.6

There was? i didn't feel it.

can you give a short answer why fresh works better?

[QUOTE=Ruffdaddy;1206389] We're still at least 5 years from producing the same quality fracs with recycled water as fresh at a comparable price./QUOTE]

Just wondering

[Ruffdaddy]

From the frac guys I've talked to, we're still a ways from recycling water if we don't have to. I will have to disagree that it's cheaper to recycle...servicing companies will always take the most cost effective route with the greatest customer benefit. We're still at least 5 years from producing the same quality fracs with recycled water as fresh at a comparable price.

When I came over to the industry, I remember driving past a huge fleet of pump trucks...and a very senior engineer looked at me and said "look at all that horsepower, now tell me we can't cause an earthquake." There's absolutely no science in that, but I believe it's possible.

I am waiting for one of those jehadist to blow up a pipeline in Iran so my dam CLR stock will do worth a shit. I lost a bunch of money when Obammy and John freekin Kerry signed that paper with Iran.
