Natural gas compressor fire in Colorado

September 14, 2012 By TXsharon

From Ghost Blogger

Another one of those oh so safe gas compressors caught fire in Colorado recently:

Colorado Interstate Gas sets force majeure after compressor fire. Gas compressors are considered so safe that they are being built next to homes & schools all over shale gas areas. Yet.

Accidents like this malfunction & fire happen every few weeks.

    Carrizo Oil & Gas also claimed force majeure to attempt to validate why their expired leases were still valid for the deceased Whitespot well. It seems they use this clause whenever it suits them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_majeure

    I see force majeure being used for non natural force issues, like lack of maintenance caused explosions. Screwed up lease issues is also being seen lately using FM. I don’t know why more stockholders don’t raise a rebellion when companies misuse it.

    It’s always interesting to see how authorities are willing to look the other way regarding risks to people, wildlife, and the ecology when there is big money to be made.
