  Frack & Ruin

  I am in the Evil Oil & Gas Business as a oil & gas operator, investor, and royalty owner with producing oil & gas wells on the family properties.

  I worked for Halliburtion Service Company in the 1970 durning the summer months while going to college and one summer worked in the FRAC Department of that company.

  The procedure to drill a oil & gas well under the Texas State Railroad Commission (State Department that regulates the oil & gas business)is that the operator must proctect the water bearing strata (in south texas) down to 3,000' (Feet) with 7" cemented casing .  Most water bearing aquiers in south texas are above 1,000'.

  Most fracs jobs on gas sands in south texas are usually done on sand formation starting at 12,000' to 25,000'.  It consists of maybe a million pounds of sand along with 100,000 barrels of mixed water & gel  to move the sand into the tight gas sands to open up the porsitiy to increase the flow of natural gas up the wellhead.
