Barnett Shale Earthquakes: Yeah, Another One

July 11, 2009 By TXsharon

It’s the 7th in Cleburne and about number 20 or so for this area.

Remember, when you cash that royalty check that damage, like that $100,000 to the Scouting Museum, from these quakes along with the risk from pipelines will cause your insurance rates to increase. Add to that the other indirect costs which someone needs to tally and drilling for natural gas is a net loss to communities.

However, I’m a lot more concerned about the Hexavalent Chromium contamination in Midland That contamination occurred because of the loopholes in our federal environmental laws. Drilling waste was declared non-hazardous so the pit where Schlumberger dumped the obviously extremely hazardous waste was not regulated by the EPA.
