Gas is gonna go through the roof.....

[Chronic Don]

I have to run 93 in my car too. Since I've gotten better and started going to the rigs some more I'm going to have to get another truck. I've been borrowing my parents ride when I came out here, but that's getting tiring.

I'm actually in Fort Worth hitting all our Barnett Shale rigs right now. I'll snap a couple of pictures with my iPhone and post them tomorrow.

the tech to produce shale is fairly new, is it a big push as I'd thought most rigs would be looking for oil since up here in Canuckland we give our natural gas to you for almost free and as much gas as you need we have. or are they squeezing oil out of the shale now too? I've been away from the field for a few yrs and haven't bothered to keep up on whats new out there.

You can get a lot of oil from shale. It's all horizontal drilling work. We drill 6000ft of vertical section in the payzone connecting the oil pockets dots. There is new fracking technology too.

The Barnett Shale in Fort Worth became a big gas play when prices got so high in the last boom. It's still very busy. There is some oil.

A lot of rigs are moving to the Eagleford Shale in South Texas. Lots of oil and gas. Everything we do is shale work pretty much. The Baken Shale in ND is getting bigger too now because there are some big oil pocket dots to connect. I spent a winter up there a few years ago in the Badlands around Dickerson. -40F. Ya'll northerners are can keep that lol. Fuck me that's cold.

The Haynesville Shale produces some monster wells. Gas and oil, but NG gas really needs to be at +$5 to make them profitable. They are hot hole (165C+) and burn up my Measure While Drilling electronic tools and the directional drilling motors. Easily destroy $200,000 in a matter of minutes. I hate that shit lol. I'm glad they are moving.

But definitely. Shale's are were it is at right now on land.

No. I'm busy. I'll be drilling for fossil fuels tomorrow.

Thank you. I'll be filling up tomorrow.

some fine info here gramps, sounds like you're part of the drilling industry
if this continues, there will be a significant increased oil production in this country
i'b be very wary of being long oil right now, i smell a correction when Armageddon fails to appear

 

[HempKat]

some fundamental economic practices change very slowly, even if it's becoming plain the practices can't continue
inertia holds us in place
oil is a great example, total oil reserves are still huge, just that the costs of extraction are rising sharply
for years we've had way too cheap oil, and a world economy has grown around that cheap oil

I think you're right but it's more then just fundamental economic practices we're slow to change. Just look at politics. For the most part you got two sides that so bitterly oppose one another and who are so certain their ways are right that we fail to make any significant progress towards either a liberal agenda or a conservative one and it's been that way since the beginning of American politics.

Ha ha...yeah Gramps info rocks.

if this continues, there will be a significant increased oil production in this country

It may very well double at best from today's production numbers but that ain't gonna be even close enough to float this country and it's voracious appetite for oil. It's not just about the gas you put in your car but everything else that uses crude like plastics for starters. How much plastic do you see in the world around you and that's in your shopping bag?

how to improve our democracy? that is a weighty question
one thing pops to mind when i think about the big change California got when they passed prop 215 - never would have happened with out the people saying loud and clear, 'this is what we want'
and that happened because California voters can amend their constitution
wouldn't be something if we the people could amend the federal constitution?

Blah, blah, blah...Democrats and Republicans use the same amount of oil. You can't vote in a change here.

no argument there, it's good to a point
we are going to have to change some of our bad habits
but i welcome every bit of moderate good news

We can, we just don't have the strength and unity of numbers to make it happen. I'm not asking how to improve our democracy though. I'm just pointing out for over 200 years now we've had this back and forth with our current system where there is no compromise, no middle ground that can be reached and as such we keep going back and forth between the two parties as far as who has control and nothing gets done. Yet we the people just keep doing the same thing of voting one party out of power and replacing them with the other and we never get anywhere. Not even far enough to be able to clearly determine if either party's agenda would ever lead to a successful and prosperous society or not.

You'd think after over 200 years we'd conclude this isn't working and never will.

 

[igrowone]

i will admit to voting Libertarian in the last presidential election, wasn't an enthusiastic supporter of Barr(i think that was the Libertarian guy)
but i was so fed up with the Republicrat system, which has gotten to be a very old and tired game

 

[TruthOrLie]

when do the prices go back down again?

 

[Mountain]

This thread ain't about democracy...it's about consumption and you vote by how you consume.

up here the shale they drill is for gas, but they could be now going for oil too. our rigs are flat out now, and more and more announcements of upgraders and refinery additions coming weekly here, we will be busy again as long as oil use doesnt plummet permenantly, this last plummt hasnt been recovered yet but will I am sure. our gas at home here is 103.9 but a few places have gone up to 109.9/litre. yes 4.15.4/us gal

Even with the oil field booming domestically. Even if it exploded it wouldn't be a drop in the bucket.

We're addicted to two things in this country IMO. Oil and Debt. Debt feeds the consumption of oil. So yeah. We have some big changes to make.

 

[whodare]

HEMP! HEMP! HEMP! HEMP! HEMP!

 

[SpasticGramps]

yes 4.15.4/us gal

That sucks.

I wonder what it would be if we had to buy Canadian dollars to go buy our oil?

 

[whodare]

That sucks.

hahahahahaha people just dont get it... it is 8-9 dollars a gallon in europe, but hey the euro is doing better than the dollar lol hows that work?

if you want to add 30%+ increase to you MPG in your car DIY hydrogen generator cost about $60 to make fuck these rediculous gas prices & all the greedy fucks on wallstreet that drive up prices to boost their stocks. do a little research its super simple to make this is 1 of the best video on how to make one.plus its super cheap extracts oxygen & hydrogen from water thats mixed with baking soda, FUCK battery powered cars their shit it produces 4 times more polution to make a hybrid cause of all the cyanide & chemicals to extract the nickle then ship it all over the world to make the batteries.hydrogen is the future.

1 more thing alot of people think its dangerous cause its hho its not if theres too much heat or preasure the jar will just break & release the water there may be a small bang like a firecracker but NO explosion.
hho explosion not as bad as you would think & this is a big hho generator the one in your car would be a small jar it may damage hoses but thats about it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfk8jXVUF34&feature=related
