Yes. Yup.
Another point. Fracing is not a new method. And vertical wells are also fraced. The OCC and the Texas RRC, both have had regulations in effect for 40 years that I know of, specifically to protect ground water.
Does anyone remember channel 4's "What's Wrong With Well" reports? The ground water contamination that started that was nitrates (I think), I can remember chiseling nitrous ammonia in farming. There was a lot of ammonia nitrates used for fertilizer about that and earlier, but that disposal well got the blame, at least the implied blame

If this was directed at me then you took my question wrong. I genuinely wanted to know if there was anyone here who had experience in the field being discussed. That was it. Sorry if it came off wrong.

Nah it was probably me.
I get pissed off at the main stream media putting out false info.
Sorry about being a little cranky last night.
Nobody wants a chemical spill. Drillers, land owners or royalty owners.
As has been said, most frac situations occurr way below water Acquifers.
Some are perhaps closer.
A recent post said that in Osage county it was a little deeper than 1000'
I live in Osage county, and my water well is at about 20' deep. I have my water tested annually for hydro carbons, as there are pump jacks to the south and north of my water well.
A mile away, they have drilled up to 3000 ft and not hit water.
I was reading in Popular Science today about fracing.
Most fractures in the bearing are less than 100' long.
I hope that answers a couple of questions.
Yea no "K" in Fracing
Just came off a job this morning North of Alva about 1/4 mile from Kansas, Didn't get the total depth but the job was 9 stages, each lasting 1 hour 45 mins. 100,000 pounds of sand per stage
No, wasn't aimed at anyone in particular. It just seemed like the thread turned a little condecsending. No big deal. There was plenty of good info from guys who do this kind of work, so guys like me that know that fracing doesn't cause earthquakes, but wasn't sure of it's effect on groundwater learned a thing or two.
Are you guys the ones with the green and purple trucks? I was headed in to Canadian last Thursday and saw about 30 nice shiny trucks headed up 83. I believe that was the first time I had ever seen those particular trucks.
Yea thats one of our crews.
