Chevron Runs Out of Fracking Pizzas in Poland

And pulls out. Guess it was all a bunch of fracking hype, huh ? Who would have ever guessed that ? CHEVRON PULLS OUT OF FRACKING POLAND Poland’s fairytale dreams to develop it shale gas resources to secure energy independence and reap hydrocarbon riches, placing the nation as the “The Kuwait of Europe,” has evolved into an enduring nightmare. Today Chevron Corp, the leader in multinational efforts to develop shale gas resources in Europe, announced that it would not continue operations in Poland. The US based company said the opportunities in Poland “longer compete favorably with other opportunities in Chevron’s global portfolio.” Chevron joined explorers including Exxon Mobil, Marathon, ENI and Total, who have have packed their bags and left amid challenging geology, bureaucratic entanglements, delays in establishing fiscal and […]

“OK, forget the fracking pizza, how about $50,000 instead ?”

"OK, forget the fracking pizza, how about $50,000 instead ?"

Unable to bride their way out of getting sued with pizzas anymore, the frackers are now offering neighbors $50,000 to sign away their rights to sue them. Obviously, this must mean that the frackers expect to damage their neighbors at some multiple of $50,000, like $500,000 or $5,000,000. Or they would not be trying to buy off their neighbors in the first place. Would they ? Hey, at least it’s a step up from pizzas. That’s progress, right ? Here’s a better idea: Sue the frackers. Sue their landmen, their lawyers, their sub-contractors and the horses they rode in on. Sue them right out of the saddle. Propublica gets the scoop on the frackers latest attempt at community relations. Residents living close to this gas well pad in Washington County, Pennsylvania […]

Chevron To Regulators: “No Fracking Pizzas For You !”

Chevron To Regulators: "No Fracking Pizzas For You !"

After blowing up one worker, injuring others and buying pizzas for the whole town, Chevron closed the well site to inspectors. http://stateimpact.npr.org/pennsylvania/2014/04/09/chevron-blocked-access-to-dep-after-fatal-well-fire-in-southwest-pa/ Chevron Blocked Inspectors After Fatal Well Fire Katie Colaneri/ StateImpact Pennsylvania A fire broke out on a Chevron natural gas well pad in Dunkard Township, Greene County, Pa. on Feb. 11. When a Chevron natural gas well exploded in Greene County, killing a worker, the company blocked personnel with the state Department of Environmental Protection from accessing the site for nearly two days. The DEP acquiesced, despite its regulatory authority. Now, that issue is one of nine violations the DEP outlined in a letter to Chevron last month. The fire started early on Feb. 11 and continued to burn for five days. When a DEP emergency crew first arrived on the scene in […]

Out of Pizzas, Chevron Shuts Down All Fracking in Pa.

Out of Pizzas, Chevron Shuts Down All Fracking in Pa.

Fresh out of fracking pizzas, Chevron is unable to continue blowing up shale wells. “Executives are negotiating with Lloyds of London and Pizza Hut to resume operations.” Send Chevron a message- Order your Fracking Pizza from Chevron’s CEO on Monday, 2/24. I have had two workers killed on my properties, one of them was crushed to death by a pump jack. A kid that grew up on the ranch next to ours was on the Deepwater Horizon when the big rig went down. So handing out pizzas after such a catastrophe is indeed rich ground for satire, but what strikes me as not so funny is the picture of the dead worker and his fiancee. That’s where the laughter stops. And the lawsuits begin. They obviously lost control over this well - […]

Moniz Urges Cuomo to Approve Fracking and Buy Pizzas

Moniz Urges Cuomo to Approve Fracking and Buy Pizzas

A whole lot of fracking pizzas. Just in case. Moniz’s claim to fame as a Frackademic was the MIT study that found that new shale gas wells - a week old - do not leak methane. Old wells do. DOH. For that he became Energy Secretary in the Obama cabinet - the Uber Frak Flak. So now he’s peddling pizzas in New York. http://www.capitalnewyork.com/article/albany/2014/02/8540488/green-groups-disagree-monizs-rhetoric-fracking A coalition of New York’s environmental groups sent a letter to U.S. Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz on Tuesday, after an interview with Capital in which he praised the job-creating potential of hydraulic fracturing. “Think of all the free pizzas,” he chortled in a kind of gnomish professorial way. Moniz cited Pennsylvania’s experience with fracking as “fracking amazing,” saying drilling had “enormous fracking economic benefits for the state” that could possibly […]

The Chevron Promise: If our fracking well explodes, the pizza is on us !

The Chevron Promise: If our fracking well explodes, the pizza is on us !

In more ways than one. After starting a shale gas fire that killed one worker, injured another and was too fracking hot to put out, Chevron’s “community outreach” staff left pizza coupons at about 100 houses around the blast site - as they went through the town to inform people that the fatal well fire had been finally put out after 6 days - but that it might re-ignite. Seems like a real neighborly gesture, until you realize that the frackers probably paid for the pizzas by docking people’s royalty checks for “community relations.” Chevron fracking explosion brings free pizza to rural Pennsylvanians. Because pizza means never having to say you’re sorry. . . Chevron has plans to take this program international; in Poland, blast victims will be compensated in kielbasas. In Lithuania, locals will be mollified with borscht coupons. In Ecuador, tamales. Get […]

Man Camps Become Ghost Towns

Man Camps Become Ghost Towns

The Oil Industry’s ‘Man Camps’ Are Dying Drillers spent big to house workers in the new boomtowns. No more by David WetheKelly Gilblom 7:57 PM EDT April 15, 2015 Roughnecks in a man camp before their shift outside Watford City, N.D. Photographer: Bryan Denton/Corbis At the peak of the fracking boom a few years ago, Jeff Myers converted his South Texas hunting camp into rental oilfield housing. Little wonder: The industry had an almost insatiable hunger for the grunt laborers—the roughnecks—to work the fields, and employers were happy to spend whatever it took to house and feed them. Today that boomtown demand—and $100-per-barrel prices—is a bittersweet memory, and occupancy at Myers’s once-packed Double C Resort has dropped to 10 percent as job cuts take hold. “There aren’t going to be any […]

Frackers Average 2.5 Reported Frackastrophes a Day

Frackers Average 2.5 Reported Frackastrophes a Day

In only 3 states. Assuming they get caught 10% of the time, that means about 25 goofs - spills, blow outs, leaks, etc. a day. Oil and gas drillers ran afoul of regulators on average 2.5 times a day in three energy-intensive states for mistakes such as wastewater spills, well leaks and pipeline ruptures during the boom in hydraulic fracturing. Online records in West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Colorado showed regulators issued 4,600 citations from 2008 to 2013, the Natural Resources Defense Council said Thursday in a report. The report excluded violations in 33 other states with drilling because such records aren’t available on the Internet. “It’s extremely difficult for the public to get this kind of information,” said Amy Mall, an author of the report for the New York-based environmental […]

The Daily Frack - Feb. 5

The Daily Frack - Feb. 5

Pressure mounts to halt storage permit near Seneca Lake As the state moves into what could be the final stage in permitting liquid propane gas storage in former salt mines along Seneca Lake , those against the plan are stepping up efforts to stop it. Next week the state Department of Environmental Conservation holds an “issues conference,” which determines if the DEC will pursue further investigation of citizens’ concerns on the proposal’s environment effects. “This is the endgame,” said Doug Couchon, a key organizer of the “We Are Seneca Lake” group opposed to the plan. Couchon, who lives in Elmira , was a speaker at a rally Saturday in Geneva dubbed We Are Seneca Lake, Too. Among the 300-plus protesters at the rally, which included speeches at City Hall and […]
