No sleep for Argyle residents near the Williams facility

August 18, 2010 By TXsharon

“Good Neighbor” Williams caused their Argyle neighbors to suffer a sleepless night. I woke up to several “what is that noise” emails. There was a lot of activity in the night and reports of visible emissions. Watch the ABCAlliance website for videos.

OMG! The video is up and it was taken from a good distance away. The noise is horrible and the emissions are the worst I’ve seen EVER!

    Contrary to what the gas companies will tell you, you DO have the right to the peaceful enjoyment of your property, especially when that comes to being able to sleep at night. Will most people sue to get a good nights sleep, probably not. Will 100, 1,000, 10,000, we'll see.

    Wanna sue in one of the numerous crooked and bought-off, oil soaked Texas courts? You're wasting your money and your time. If anybody can get something going, however, I'm all for it!

    Sunday: World looks at CEO compensation

    Steven Malcolm, the chairman, president and CEO of Williams Cos. Inc., remained the highest paid local executive of the 18 reviewed by the World.

    Despite a national recession, many CEOs of local publicly traded companies enjoyed higher compensation in 2009.

    While 13 saw their overall compensation increase, five saw reductions. The three top-paid executives at Williams Cos. Inc., ONEOK Inc. and BOK Financial Corp., remained unchanged from 2008.

    For the second year in a row, the Tulsa World examined the pay, compensation and bonuses awarded to company executives based in eastern Oklahoma.

    In determining CEO pay, the World followed the same formula as it did for 2008, reviewing company reports and financial records, including proxy statements and regulatory filings required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

    Nationwide, energy company executives tended to see pay increases last year, while the overall broader market saw more of a downward trend in compensation, said Chris Crawford, executive director of Houston-based Longnecker & Associates, which has Tulsa clients.

    The labor market for good executive and technical talent in the energy market is still tight.

    “You would be very hard pressed to find any other industry that has the same dynamics that energy does right now even within the Oklahoma City and Tulsa markets…. People are doing what they can to retain their executive and their technical-level employees,” said Crawford.

    Out of the energy-weighted list of company executives included in the World’s review, seven saw overall compensation increases for 2009, while three had declines.

    Even with a nearly
    10 percent drop in his total compensation, Steven Malcolm, the chairman, president and CEO of Williams Cos. Inc., remained the highest paid local executive of the 18 reviewed by the World.

    In 2009, Malcolm’s total compensation was $8,080,038. His salary rose to $1,142,308 from $1,094,231 the year before.

    Part 2 tonight, 8:30 p.m.. We drove around the Blessing well tonight to compare noise levels from up close to our house, It is just as loud almost 2 miles away as it is there. Turning north off Frenchtown onto Gibbons, we noticed a noxious, foul odor. As an oncoming car approached, it looked like it was appearing out of a fog. This is not steam, the haze was low to the ground. Come up with a better story Kelly, the current one stinks just as bad as the emissions from the well.
