A parcel of land is selected and a rig is placed for about 30-40 days to
bore a vertical hole about a mile down and then horizontally into the gas reserves.
To release the gas, large quantities of water and sand are blasted into
the well bore to fracture the rock and stimulate the flow of gas.
After a well is fracture treated, the rig is removed and a no-noise
production unit is placed at the well head, remaining there for the life
of the well.
From the well head, the gas is transported by pipeline to its market
destination, eventually for use in your home.
We want to be as thorough as we can in answering your questions. We aim to demystify the process of gas drilling around DFW. We also hope to build a strong company that has a positive reputation in the community for safety, fairness and ethics.
