As expected, the flare on Witt Farm is very large. You cannot see the flame (as it is hidden in an empty, top open tank - I wonder why?) but as 6 or more wells are now processed on Witt Farm, it is burning very hot, which you can see on the picture below. The smell is awful, even while taking the picture from M52, which is west of the flare - and the wind coming from the south - so it should not smell at all to the west!! Just as a reminder of my previous post: what you can smell might not be the worst of the gas and volatile cocktail that is spewed out by this mega-flare. However, it is a good indication of how much is spewed, which is certainly not healthy for the neighbors within at least a 2 mile radius. Denial will not help them as these are chemicals that are not following the "what does not kill you makes you stronger" fallacy. In addition, property values in the wider surroundings will go down because of having a dirty industry so close by - regardless of neighboring property owners following the "ostrich principle" (sticking your head in the sand takes care of danger) as in the notion of "what you do not talk about does not exist"...
Burning of the gases and vapors of 6 or more wells in the hidden flare on Witt Farm produces a lot of heat showing the partial combustion of partially poisonous and cancerous chemicals.
There are now 7 or more oil barrels to store crude - meaning that either 7 wells are currently processed, soon to be processed - or that there is so much oil going in through the now 3 pipelines that the previous 6 tanks were not sufficient anymore.
The six original grey tanks were lately supplemented by 1 or two new beige colored tanks, which would translate to probably 8 wells coming in
On the separator side, there are 6 separators visible when coming down M52 southbound. This would rather suggest 6 wells...
