Colorado Floods Inundate Thousands of Gas Wells

The floods in Colorado have caused untold damage. There is reportedly a local media blackout on the issue of flooded oil and gas wells and related infrastructure. So here is my little effort to spread the word. Check out this article and this short video.

      the first site you link to does not suggest this is all just unfounded fear - it says assessments are early and there are some problems but other sites seem ok.

      The second site says much the same. Plus there are chemicals on site (e.g. in condensate tanks and separators) even after hydraulic fracturing - so that distinction needs to be made as well.

      Just putting links up does not make an argument - you have to read them.
