HELLO! Quoting: Lost N Dying World “We are not going to bring a drilling rig in close proximity to the edge of the sinkhole…What we intend to do is set up several hundred feet away and drill directionally into the roof of the cavern. We’re aware of the risks,” Mark Cartwright, president of United Brine Services, a subsidiary of Texas Brine Co., said Friday at a press conference in Gonzales.

Course I noticed that's why I asked him to keep reading, there's new info every day on this sinkhole, it's on going. |

Yes. the drilling was completed on the 29th and samples and video have been taken. and, of course, none of the results of their findings will be reported to the public. [link to www.examiner.com] |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 24857213 United States 10/03/2012 06:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I agree with that, the big question I have is, how do you know this gas is coming from deep down and not say from all the shale fracking going on, as well as all the water they pump down and leave there. That's got to go somewhere. Gas from fracking might have built up over time. I was thinking the water from this is what disolved the cavern and perhapes even the whole dome from the bottom. Quoting: alexisj9 no. fracking gas would not be high pressure, and would not be moving around a lot. (high pressure makes the gas come out, but once it's out of the high pressure pipe the gas is not high pressure) i think this has to be from a deed high pressure gas deposit because if it was low pressure it would just go into solution into the rock and soil on the way up. so, with this stuff not only does all of the rock and soil now have to be saturated with gas, but there is even still enough pressure left for some of it to fart out at the surface as little bubbles. (after it's long journey from down under) note: that's just a quick thumbnail sketch. |

Ok thanks. and, i'm only guessing now, but my guess is that the authorities are alarmed because: with high pressure being involved at the source, then this thing can only get worser and worser. |

HELLO!

[link to thesinkhole.org] They have hit high pressure before, You can not easily control the pressure ( called a well blow out) it you drill straight over the top down. If you drill horizontally the pressure is much easier to control and you don't have such a great risk of a blow out. I think they are going to find emmense pressure which ever way they drill. I know the gas cavern has collapsed but what they are not telling everyone is that since the pressure has been shown to effect the underground water aquifier in that area that can mean only one thing......... The entire salt dome is sinking. That is the only logical outcome since they are getting such outrageous pressure reading. One gas cavern is not going to cause over 990 lbs per sq inch in pressure, but it the entire dome, the whole thing is sinking.....that is doom for sure And much like BP's disaster, too much pressure makes sealing it up impossible especially since the Aquifer that is showing the pressure is porous like limestone. That would be like trying to plug a leaky faucet with a wet sponge. Man can't fix that no matter how much money or drilling they throw at it. Best to just get everyone out and buy their land at a decent cost and let mother nature finish sinking her dome. This is something even that guy who put out that "I know it all" youtube video has not figured out yet. |
