Nose bleeds, burning eyes, pounding headaches are some of the symptoms from the activity on the Williams operated Blessing well. Watch the ABCAlliance blog for more video and reports. Don’t miss the video from yesterday.

Same type health symptoms we have in Booger County–lots of sour gas drilling, production and processing! Stinks!
I have a good neighbor. Lived next to them for 14 years. They have in that time caused me:
0 nose bleeds
0 skin irritations
0 sores
I have also woke up in the middle of the night because of their activities a sum total of 0 times. When I go out of town, they watch my house and get my mail. Hey Tony, will you get my mail next weekend? Better yet, move YOUR kids next to YOUR operation, then and only then can you call yourself a neighbor, but you can't call yourself a good one.
Yep, when you're sitting and living in the middle of your crap–then and only then can you (O&G exec.) tell me how you love it in a stinking 'ole gas field in Tx!
They are boiling liquid nitrogen in to gas for injection. Noisy? Yes. Health hazard? No.
Investigation results of this process at other sites prove otherwise.
What were the findings from investigation of this process at other sites?
If they are putting in liquid nitrogen, then something is wrong with the well–could be it's watered up, or oiled up, or other!!!
Some of what they found:
Benzene 120 ppb
methylcyclohexane 490 ppb
toluene 290 ppb
m & p-xylene 210 ppb
ethane 97000 ppb
propane 37000 ppb
isobutane 7100 ppb
n-butane 10000 ppb
isopentane 3300 ppb
n-pentane 3000 ppb
isoprene 94 ppb
2-methylpentane 960 ppb
cyclohexane 430 ppb

Wait for it…Wait for it….the next argument will be you get that much Benzene when you fill your car up at the gas pump (which has basic vapor recovery as required in all non-attainment areas of the Metroplex and unlike ALL gas wells also in the same non-attainment areas of thh Metroplex. There, I saved them the trouble, new argument?
Cryogenic Nitrogen
Did they find Formaldehyde? Maybe they didn't test for it but it should be included in all testing. Nose bleeds are a good indication that formaldehyde is present.
