What's going on? Gas wells in TX over pressure!
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?

What is the normal OP? How many calls do you usually get? What general areas are over pressure?

Re: What's going on? Gas wells in TX over pressure!
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.

Well most of the time when the soil you work on lowers it creates pressure inside of the whole chamber.

But it also acts like a kushen balloon sometimes which would simply blow up stuff due to high pressing ... Pressure.

Sounds like legit insider info to me.

OP, in your opinion, what could cause such a spike?

If ya'll look where Beaumont is it's east Texas, and pretty much in Louisiana. This is crazy if it's true. All of Louisiana, and East Texas could either sink, or explode. Lets pray it doesnt.

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.

Repent now for the Kingdom of God is here. His ways are just and true.

Most of us do AC - check out the map of gas lines running thru USA:
[link to www.eia.gov]

Now read the threads on the Sinkhole in Assumption Parish - this could be the key to the rising gas pressures.

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.

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.
