Brine Truck into Witt Farm

A full brine truck just pulled into Witt Farm coming from Howell Highway. Is there now an injection well on Witt Farm??

Carson Highway - Williamsburg Drive Update

Horizontal drilling continues off of Carson Highway and Williamsburg Drive right behind a residential area.
The amount of pre-drilling site preparation and pipe laying indicates that Savoy expects to tap into some major deposits...

Armed with the Facts: Natural Gas and Air Pollution

Same thing also in the flares and just leaking from the drill sites of oil drilling and processing sites!

Oil Pump in Heritage Park - Pipeline Drill on the Purse Property

Now we have a oil pump going at Heritage Park.

Meanwhile there is some more drilling going on on the Purse Funeral Home well site but it looks like a pipeline drilling to pump the black gold to the Witt Farm processing facility.


Massive dust clouds on Witt Farm indicated the extension of the current facility to process all the new wells that were added lately. My guess is that the oil from between 4 and 8 wells will soon flow there - and also all the flare gases will be burned off hidden in that barrel. "What you can't see is not there"...

Purse Funeral Home Drill Site Done - Drilling Rig Moved to Carson Highway Site

I was gone a few days - and was proven wrong about only pipeline digging activities off Carson Highway. Savoy cuts drilling costs by operating just one horizontal drilling rig - and shifting them from one site to the next. The rig that was first at Stratton's Landscaping was moved to Purse, and is now situated off Carson, where it will continuously drill 24/7 for probably another 10 to 14 days. Neighbors complained to me about extreme 24/7 noise and odor pollution. Unfortunately, it is not just bad smell but there are a lot of poisonous and cancerous substances in those fumes - and this well looks really close to some residences - less than the 300 feet they suppose to stay away...
