Drilling Rig Disappeared from Heritage Park

24 hours later - the horizontal drilling rig disappeared from Heritage Park. Note the tarp-covered structure behind the "Christmas tree". Seems to me that they drilled horizontally to connect the Heritage Park pipeline to somewhere else. Maybe the site on Carson Highway?

Drilling on Stratton's Landscaping Done - Derrick Moved Next to Purse Funeral Home

After about 2 weeks of drilling on the property of Stratton Landscaping between Heritage Park and M52, the specialized derrick for horizontal drilling was disassembled on Monday, and just moved across Beaver Creek Howell Highway to the property of Purse Funeral Home, where a "christmas tree" capped the bore hole from a previous - supposably unsuccessful conventional drill.

Drilling Derrick on Stratton's last Saturday (June 1).

Intensive grading to prepare for more drilling also on Saturday, June 1 on the Purse Funeral Home Site. Note the "christmas tree" capping the old bore hole.

Yesterday morning, the special derrick for horizontal drilling was swiftly moved just across Beaver Creek and Howell Highway to the new drill site at the Purse Funeral Home.

The derrick arrived on the Purse Site on Tuesday, June 4th 10:27 EDT.

And was setup within a couple of hours. The first two pictures are from around 11:30 am, just an hour after the last 2 pictures.

And was soon erected.

At 4:30 pm yesterday, the derrick looked almost functional..

An hour later (6/4/2013 at 5:22 pm).

And today (6/5/2013) at 10:50 am.

Pipeline connected - Heritage Park drill site is being prepared to deliver to Witt Farm

Brine trucks are at the Heritage Park drill site all day. They seem to prepare the delivery of the 3 wells connected to the bore hole to deliver oil and - unfortunately also poisonous and cancerous flare gases and volatiles to Witt Farm.

At the disc golf area everything is now underground - as if not really there...

There is also a lot going on at Witt Farm to prepare for the receipt of the new wells - eventually also from the new drill site on Stratton's Landscaping. The number of separators will tell us how many wells will be processed soon - more oil coming in - and more truck traffic - and the flare will get much bigger - their poisonous gases and volatiles will get much more concentrated...

Pipeline Connected to Well Head in Heritage Park, Pipes all Under Ground Until Floodplain

The pipeline is now connected to the well head.

And all buried 4 feet under ground.

The pipes lying ready to be buried down at the floodplain are now also welded to the pipes coming down from the wells. Ground water level is still very high. Do they need to wait until the ground water retreats to bury the pipeline into the flood plain?

The long diagonal until the forest line shows a stack of 15 pipes. The 10 lower level pipes are most probable the ones to continue through the woods to Beaver Creek, and go under the creek bed - maybe even up the bluff to connect to the end of the buried pipes on the uplevel fields.

 This picture reveals the purpose of the black PE pipe. This is a gas pipe to transport the flare gases and vapors to the Witt Farm flare that will at least double by this. A shame that Savoy still does not collect, store and market these gases - but instead burns them off producing poisonous and cancerous gases and vapors.
