who did the water tranfer on this site

[PSUWayneCounty]

Good question. I don't honestly know who did the water transfer.

[JakeEvilclown]

Hmmmm. They claim they only put 5,000 gallons per frac well into the ground. Count the trucks here and figure how many gallons or tons of poison they are pumping into this well. Looks like they are lying about the scale and amounts. They have to be pumping way more than 5,000 gallons into this well. Probably closer to 500,000 gallons or more.

[PSUWayneCounty]

Actually during the clip I stated that 800,000 gallons were used at this hydraulic fracturing site. And this is a relatively small 'frac' compared to what we typically see in Pennsylvania today (average of around 4 million gallons). No one is lying.

Where were the 800,000 gallons of water drawn from? From what water supply?

[PSUWayneCounty]

The water used for hydraulic fracturing in Pennsylvania comes largely from surface water bodies - rivers and larger streams.

So how long does the "Flaring" process last? I have a site about 250yds from my house in a very rural area & for 3 weeks now it constantly sounds like a jet fly around my house from the gas being burnt off. It sounds like you would think a giant flame thrower would. I can't wait for this site to be completed. Thanks for the local jobs though. Oh wait all the workers are from TX. It took 18 hrs to plug a well gushing frac water last wk b/c guys from tx had to be flown in to pa to stop it. ???

What is mixed with the water other than sand prior to pumping? What is in the water after it has been forced into the well?

Good fracing vid. Great process. Saving this country as O SAMBO is trying to kill it. Good paying jobs for good hard working men and women. These green fucks are so full of ducus.

[SuperBababooie]

looks like alot of good jobs.

[mohayrix1]

Because they have much to cover up!!!

[mohayrix1]

More important where are they disposing this stuff??? In your water supply. I quit the oil industry due to thier lies and pollution.

If you want to start making about 5 000 $ a month or more ! Living in a province where everything cost less from the taxes you pay to the gaz you put in your brand new truck because you can afford one ! Or you can simply go work for a couple of weeks in a camp with your food and bed paid by the employer then come back to your family with all the MONEY you made !
