Extremely high emissions at Chesapeake Energy’s Little Hoss facility in Godley

March 21, 2010 By TXsharon

Chesapeake energy has known for quite some time that their Little Hoss facility in Godley, TX is blasting toxic emissions at the residents. The GasFindIR video below is from last year and, looking at the recent test results, it appears that CHK has made no attempt to stop the emissions.

Fortunately, the Godley neighbors were paying attention when TECQ responded to the DISH Health Survey by issuing a new 12 hour odor complaint response system. They made their odor complaints, requested the results using the TCEQ online Open Records Request Form and now we have two test results showing EXTREMELY high levels of toxins with more tests on the way. Test one. Test two. The well is Chesapeake’s “Little Hoss 7B No. 3-H” with the No.2 and No.4 wells also, on the south edge of their land.

What’s it going to take, Chesapeake? I know you read this blog, so what’s it going to take for you to STOP blasting these toxins at the good people in Godley?

If you smell an odor you believe is coming from a gas well, call the TCEQ Complaint Hotline – 1-888-777-3186 (click the link for instructions).

To get the full report, you will need to submit an Open Records Request using the TECQ online form. When you get the results, send them to me.

    You can see on the FLIR video the levels of the liquid in the adjacent tanks. I hadn't noticed this before on other videos.

    The stuff coming out of a gas well is at a higher temperature than ambient air. When you see this in a FLIR video it confirms that the well is in production at the time (or has been recently).

    Such a remote sensing system could, over a few hours, provide a measurement of the rate of liquid production on a drilling pad. This information might be useful in gauging how "wet" the Barnett Shale is at various locations.

    Right now all we have is industry's claims about that…and you know how reliable that information is.
