Maybe you could come out of retirement KDM, and start selling real-estate, sounds like you might have a knack for it

There's some folks that have been on documentaries in Mckenzie County lighting their tap on fire. They didn't bother to mention they have been able to do that since the well was drilled. People will claim damn near anything for the chance at some victim $$$.
New York beat them with their burning waterfall.

Actually that would be a mink in a rock.

And explain how 300 feet deep will not see fracking and be specific to the area. Also note I worked for Haliburton for a few years on a frac crew so please elaborate on your knowledge of coal fracking since we all know the details of this ever so common practice around here. Just saying

What years did you work for Halliburton and which crew were you on. One more question if you were on a Frac crew why do you spell it with a K.

It's all in how you market it. It could be a boon for the area. "Come and see the BURNING RIVER!!! A one of a kind in the world!! Bring the kiddies to witness this magic marvel!!!" Buy a home on the newly created "Smoldering Shores Development" Buy now while it's still HOT!!!!

You could add "come enjoy the precooked fresh fish, the bite is always red hot"

Went in early 06 came back in the first big lull which i think was winter08/09 and started off on the cement side then went to red that later became a gun manufacturer or something. By then I was with sandjel. And it's called auto correct. Made my best money with S&S but they were terrible to work for and had the highest turnover rate i have seen.

Fracking going on nearby (within a kilometer)


A RIVER ON FIRE! Gas explodes from Australian river near fracking site. I was shocked by force of the explosion when I tested whether gas boiling through the Condamine River, Qld was flammable. So much gas is bubbling through the river that it held a huge flame.
There has been concern that fracking and extraction of coal seam gas could cause gas to migrate through the rock. Not only is it polluting the river and air, but methane is an extremely potent heat trapping gas. Fugitive emissions from the unconventional gas industry could be a major contributor to climate change and make gas as dirty as burning coal.
Gas first started bubbling though the river shortly after the coal seam gas industry took off in the Chinchilla area. Since then the volume of gas bubbling through the river has massively increased and has spread along the river.
You can see stakes in the river bank were the Queensland Government has marked each gas seep. You can also see pipework near the river where Origin Energy has installed for monitoring the gas bubbling through the river.
Thanks to John Jenkyn for taking me up the river in his tinnie. He's a champion!

I spelled it with a k cause they spelled it with a k......first sentence

Ristorapper in my many years of fracing I have learned one thing. If you spell Frac with a K it usually means that the person typing it has not been around Frac to much. Since Frac is short for fracturing. When someone come on to a forum and say that they have been on a Frac crew but spells it with a k raises a flag to me. Then I find out he was on Mossyjoke all my questions were answered.

Like I said the camouflage thing happened after I was there. When I was there we were still experimenting with the best way to frac. We did everything from low and slows to two full crews pumping a buck eighty down the hole. That style was a bit spooky and we did manage to lift the well head on one enough for everyone to take off running and the popoff trailer to launch shit high enough in the air to slime all the trucks on one side of the missile plus two of the mountain movers. Was a bad day to be a green hat when got back to the yard....those boys spent allot of time scrubbing. Back then the "normal" job was around 90 bbl and took about 10 to 12 hours with some shorter some longer depending on how many stages quite a bit different then even a couple years later with the multiple day fracs. Tell you one thing fracing is a hell of allot better then being on a cement crew. That never knowing when you would have to head out shit got old fast. Man I grew to hate my phone with that gig.

Well first off should I give you a negative rep and sign it as someone else like you like to do? Second of all yeah I used terms since he's making a deal out of auto correct k on a word that doesn't exist in 99% of all systems. People like you are why friends don't let friends inbreed!
