Anonymous Coward User ID: 22573986 United States 10/14/2012 07:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I work for a mobile instrumentation company In Beaumont Texas. We service instruments that communicate wirelessly in several different fields and industries. This weekend we received over 140 Calls for instrumentation checks and calibration, All of which were natural gas wells. Is anyone seeing anything like this in other areas? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18962231 What is the normal OP? How many calls do you usually get? What general areas are over pressure? |

Top Hat User ID: 10235814 United States 10/14/2012 07:32 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Different wells, different set pressures with 'normal' spikes requiring the PRV to relieve pressure. Normal for one or two daily releases per well of 10-15 PSI over well ambient pressure. Average over pressure on all was 30-45 PSI over ambient pressure, and all between 4pm and 6pm yesterday. Some E/I meters have been online for 10 years, none less than 5, never seen this kind of increase or that many going off in that time range.

This is crazy if it's true. All of Louisiana, and East Texas could either sink, or explode. Lets pray it doesnt. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23746394 I've gotta feeling that when 0 is reelected, the hand of God, however you want to look at it, is going to be removed from protecting the USA and is going to start spanking the USA for its evils. Watch right after the election for major doom in "natural resources" Those who seek him, particularly those who have always been with him, will fare MUCH better than those who don't.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 3920653 United States 10/14/2012 08:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | east texas here and they have been drilling like crazy in the past month. any relation? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25271847 My family has owned a NG production field in SE TX for the last 75 years. New wells will decrease pressure. In some places they use NG powered compressors to move it in the delivery system, because the ambient pressure is too low. |
Phillip J. Fry User ID: 1565986 United States 10/14/2012 08:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It appears to me that they connected 2 oil/gas layers when they drilled the Macondo well and then sealed it. Now all the ultra hi-pressure gas and oil is heading up the New Madrid fault. It's getting into all the upper oil and gas structures and and aquifers. Doomamis Maximus .
