Tank Farms, Oil Wells, Flares, and Pumps in our Area as Seen from Space

Courtesy of Pam Taylor:
The Google Earth shots for Witt Farm and the McMunn tank farm and Class II injection well off of Carleton Hwy. and U.S. 223 in Palmyra haven't been updated since 2010, so I didn't include them. The Tipton Rd. tank farm has no flare or injection well or processing facility attached. 
Goetz tank farm and processing plant, Shepherd Rd. just east of Pentecost. Google Earth photo from 6.2.13. This is the largest and oldest facility in the area. This is where the newest Class II injection well is being drilled, although the rig wasn't set up yet in early June when this was taken. If you look closely at the lower left of the picture, at the pipeline that runs diagonally just above the top left edge of the tree line, you can just barely see the flame of the flare that burns 24/7 and you can see the pipelines running from the tanks to the stack. Supposedly, they will be shipping the gas via pipeline and they'll stop burning off the gas at some point in the future.



Below is the Ruesink tank farm, processing plant, and Class II injection well on Knight Hwy. Google Earth photo taken on 6.2.13 You can see the open waste/mud pit quite well in this photo.

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??

Drilling in Heritage Park for the 3rd Time - Lot of Activities off Carson Highway

What a shock to see a derrick going up in Heritage Park at the same drill site for the 3rd time - after Savoy meticulously cleaned up the site for production? What changed their mind?





At the same time a lot of drilling and leveling goes up off Carson Highway. It is not looking like a oil drilling rig - and there is a lot of grading and digging going on as well. Only thing I can think of is - another pipeline to Witt Farm?

Maybe the two things are connected? To make good use of the now purchased Witt Farm property Savoy consolidates processing and transportation their?

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...
