The drillers constantly tell us they know what they are doing so with the rash of fires I must conclude either these fires are intentional set (for insurance?) or they are liars?
Can you please update when you know which company it was that was drilling?
Wasnt a rig fire, was a tank battery that caught fire after someone shot at it!
WOW I didn’t know salt water burned! (insert sarcasm here) Must have been armor piercing?
Continental Resources location. Fire from rifle bullet to the tank. Arson investigation underway.
I think the natives have had enough.
Not sure arson is the correct way to express “enough” tho?
Nope, it’s not the correct way at all but it is not surprising at all either.
There was nothing “drilling” here. Someone decided that shooting a bullet into a stock tank was somehow justified…Really?
