What we do know, however, is that many horizontal wells have been drilled (horizontally under homes) and perfed (with explosives) along with the installation of a major infrastructure of gas gathering pipelines snaking through our communities. All of this changes things on the surface. It just does.<br /><br />According to the Railroad Commission of Texas records, these well bores are 9,000 feet deep. Common sense, along with sound information provided by the U.S. Geological Survey, says underground mining does cause subsidence, earthquakes, and sinkholes. <br /><br />Since practically every square inch of Arlington and North Texas is permitted with wells, we might want to take another look at our geography in twenty years. At that time, feel free to express your opinion on this blog again ~ because that's just what it is ~ an opinion carefully framed by the Oil & Gas Industry to convince the public at large that this activity is all harmless. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wubMuKDGBuk" rel="nofollow"> <br /></a><br /><br /><br />Fish Creek Neighborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11321914266332394403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5364673723029953824.post-88381266409593671432013-08-29T09:31:50.363-05:002013-08-29T09:31:50.363-05:00You do realize that the horizontal portion of that...You do realize that the horizontal portion of that well under the sinkhole is nearly 10,000' below surface, right?

Since we know this activity is going on as we speak, this Grand Prairie Westchester Neighbor says, "Yes. Of course.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, underground mining does cause subsidence. Because Arlington has opened wide its doors to the gas industry ~ allowing them to mine nearly every square inch of area ~ the future looks not only bleak for homeowners, but potentially dangerous. <br /><br />Fish Creek Neighborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11321914266332394403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5364673723029953824.post-80061847550482791962012-11-29T14:12:43.681-06:002012-11-29T14:12:43.681-06:00Maybe a call to the Texas Railroad Commission is i...Maybe a call to the Texas Railroad Commission is in order?
