What Happens When You Drill For Methane And It Ain't Good

Hope this never happens to you as this has turned into a nightmare for many in the west and once again as is the case most of the time the drillers are saying "not us not us" when the evidence is obvious enough for even an imbecile to cypher out and come to a conclusion that they are.

Our property is in the same county as the people in this piece. They are not looking for methane in that area. We are fortunate that there is water close to the surface and our well is old and was hand dug. Other wells that have been drilled in the area of are much deeper.

The piece is a pretty decent read.

WALSENBURG, Colo. – Bernice and Jerry Angely like to show visitors the singed T-shirt a friend was wearing when their water well exploded and shot flames 30 feet high.

  1. I'm not sure there's a problem here. The good corporate citizens of Petro seem to be taking care of all the problems with this vital process. The people of this community need to just go about their daily lives and let the "wise elders" of Colorado and our nation handle these type of issues. If you don't understand how this all works in America just call Dick and George and they'll explain it to you. " Gas is God" is on Colorado's license plate, isn't it?

  2. "Petroglyph considers itself a good neighbor . . ." glad I don't have neighbors that good. The crap never ends does it.

  3. There was this fellow from this side over by Grand Junction who was all in favor of this until it ruined his well or made him sick or some damn thing like that. I'm just glad that they're no where near the ranch because they could easily destroy our water source because of where it comes from.

  6. I would think it's going to be similar Cat's. Don't see why it wouldn't be.
