World Oilfield Forum
I have twenty years as a roughneck, frac hand, service hand, driller, workover rig operator & winch truck driver. I have drilled and fraced all over Pennsylvania ( that is the state I am from) I also worked in Texas, Wyoming, Louisiana, Alabama, New York, and West Virgina. I have a hard time dealing with all the misinformed people as of late, wanting to shut us down.
For years we here in Pennsylvania have drilled and fraced wells, oil and gas, that were 1800 to 3000 feet deep. Very close to the surface right now here is the issue we have focused our efforts on the Marcellus shale that is roughly 6000 feet deep and 5 inch or 4.5 inch pipe cementer top to bottom and perfed to frac with so many sand formations and limestone shale breaks in between the Marcellus and the aquifers not a real good chance of getting gas into the whatever- but now there are so many groups forming trying to shut us down. They think fracing is new we have been doing it here since the sixties.
I just don't get it? I tell them if they don't want us drilling and fracing shut all the gas off to there houses and try going one year with out petroleum products! Impossible right, but these people don't get it it has been a huge shot in the economy and is really the only thing keeping Pennsylvania running. Everyone is making money off the Marcellus weather they know it or not.
I am so frustrated with people.
