I don’t know who the videographer was but I’m guessing he might have been working at the site. He seems to know without question that this was a blowout. Did the City of Denton ever come out and tell residents the truth about this incident?
Notice when he pans left the emissions coming from the flowback tanks. Flowback tanks like those are waiting at the Vintage neighborhood.
I may as well put this one up too:

The news about the Denton blowout is worse than you think.
Note: I had to make a new category, EagleRidge.

“If, in fact, you’re asking a question of whether something could happen to hualt shale production in the United States, I think that is highly unlikely.” Darius W. Gaskins, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Energy Policy Research Foundation (EPRINC).
There is simply too much money in it. The question is: Who profits and who pays?
I might have pictures later today of the latest cracks in Rebecca’s home.

As you might have heard, EagleRidge Energy has been running amuck in North Texas lately showering residents with soap and cozying up to the Department of Homeland Security.
This all—even the soap—ties in with the industry’s Psychological Warfare against the American public that I exposed after attending – and recording – a fracking industry PR conference in 2011.
To find out what psyops has to do with soap , click over to EarthBlog.
Update: Thanks to a reader and frequent commenter, Andy, we have more information about surfactants and it’s worse than we thought.
This first paper is an in-depth history of using surfactants for enhanced recovery. Table 1 shows surfactants can contain some serious chemicals including carbon disulphide and waste products from oil, coal, wood products and spent amines.
Insight into the Chemistry of Surfactant-Based Enhanced Oil Recovery Processes
This next paper describes chemicals used as biocides. Industry uses biocides frequently to clear the well of debris caused by bacteria.
This product is a mix of two dithiocarbamate compounds. Nothing else.
Dithiocarbamates require CS2 to make and they are all designed to break down to form CS2 under specific conditions of temp, pressure, and PH.
Slippery and sudsy all on their own. Sure you can call it soap. Why not?

It’s irresponsible for people to believe just because the fire department did some testing that the foam was harmless.

Heads up for all water drinkers and air breathers in Bastrop and Lee Counties. Fracking is headed your way.
Texas-Gulf Coast: Serbin field horizontal drilling planned
HOUSTON, Nov. 27
11/27/2013
By OGJ editorsFieldPoint Petroleum Corp., Austin, and Riley Exploration Group, Blanchard, Okla., signed a joint exploration agreement to horizontally drill new wells and rework existing vertical wells in Serbin field in Lee and Bastrop counties, Tex.
The companies will pool lease interests in the field and drill as many as 12 horizontal wells in 2014 and an undetermined number over the 5-year agreement span, sharing expenses and revenue pro rata as determined by the acreage contributed by each. This will result in Riley owning 75% working interest and FieldPoint 25%.
FieldPoint has working interests in 72 producing oil and gas wells in Serbin field, 50 miles east of Austin. Cretaceous Taylor sand produces 46° gravity oil from 5,300-5,600 ft true vertical depth.
