250 feet from my back yard. April/May 2014


The following are photos of the transformation of the field next door. The operation is probably 250 feet from my back porch.


This is what the field looked like with bluebonnets in bloom, just 6 weeks ago.



After centuries of raising cows, and providing hospitality to birds, bunnies, and deer, someone took an interest in spending thousands of dollars to tear up the land to make a drilling pad.



My peace and quite has been disturbed, my picturesque view is gone.



No one ever notified me this was going to happen.  60 acres leased and they couldn't have put this any closer to my house.  If they hit oil/gas, they will put in oil holding tanks.

Today they are staging to do the big drilling, going down as much as 3,000 vertical feet.  The well permit says Vertical.  Hydrogen sulfide field.  Toxic fumes they will have to monitor.  The well is right in the path of prevailing winds to my house.

I'm not happy.
