This is the new well for the new irrigation system. It'll be 12 inches in diameter, 620 feet deep, with a 325 foot sealed casing, and an open shaft in the aquifers below.

The first step is installing the 24 inch diameter surface casing, through which the rest of the drilling will be done.

  • Why would you need such big gear to drill a freekin bore? a bit over the top hey, cut a 8" hole and trip in pvc yeah? how deep was it?

  • Big hole = big rig. The surface casing hole is 24" diameter to a depth of 30 feet. The main casing is 14" diameter to 320 feet, and then the final bore is 12" diameter down to 620 feet.

    The rig IS overkill, capable of 48" diameter bore. Their smaller rig was busy though, and they'd just finished a job with this one, so they used it.

  • JUST SAND? It is a common industry practice to add radioactive tracers to the sand to see if the detonations reached their zone. Then for the flowback, there is a company called Lumnipipe that guarantees a less radioactive flowback. I have kept my son from school when the winds are blowing towards his school (Bailey) during fracking. Friday they had a fluid spill and it was going into the storm water drainage. Pantego is on ground water...lovely!
