Wtf is with fracking and can't anyone declare as a fact that it's safe or harmful?

why was rex tillerson so against fracking near his home?

Actually those are all old fields from the 50s. Most new wells are being done with "pad drilling" meaning we will put like 6 wells on each one of those plots instead of one plot per well.

Produced water is a fucking pain though, too many possible contaminants, the younger engineers can't ever seem to set up the cross linkers correctly when utilizing it. At least this holds true in W Texas.

Drilling rigs are unsightly and there is a large amount of traffic going in and out. There is reason enough not to want drilling activity on your land without worrying about ground water.

Im telling you it isnt any more liable to contaminate ground water reserves than wells that are not fracked. Yes.

I think I need your recipe

Definitely. But when you take PW that you were going to have to a dollar a barrel to dispose, and you dont have to pay a dollar a barrel for the fresh water it means that a waste product becomes worth 2+ dollars a barrel. Economics nobody can ignore especially right now.

Im not saying its unimportant, its very important. Just saying other factors alone would be reason enough not to want it in your back yard. Especially if youre already rich.

Sounds like you own oil stock, sorry that fracking is hurting your portfolio.
