Bonfire and Flowback?!

It looks like EagleRidge is flowing back the wells near Apogee. I have seen some recent video to suggest this and have heard two eyewitness reports. This is when all the chemicals come up out of the hole and when the methane gas starts to flow up - much of it can escape into the atmosphere.

Is this a good time to have a giant bonfire? Well, it is going to happen tonight at 8 p.m. And they set up just across the street from the gas wells...this is a picture of the bonfire from 2007. Click here to see the giant pile of wood they have set up to burn tonight.

  1. Unbelievable. This truly represents the degree of DENIAL in shale gasland.

    1. From my recollection, there are warning/danger signs posted at drill sites that state, "No smoking or open flames."
