I hope everybody see the rig , it went up saturday 24th of June. It is a saltwater disposal well, this will help us. All gas well generate saltwater, either by Frac, or just flowback while in production. The good news about this Shale well is, that it makes it more friendly to drill in westeren Somervell county. It is right at the bottom of Chalk Mountain. I sold the rock it is sitting on so we have already made a crum on the deal. When it is up and running it will be a busy place.

As of 6/2/06 in Region 7B & 5 which includes Cleburne & Glen Rose there was a total of 172 active drilling rigs. That almost the same as Louisiana @192 and Oklahoma @ 182. Texas has a total of 742. Texas accounts for almost half of the drilling rigs in the Unuted States. Way more than the entire country of Canada @293. My source for data is the International Ass. of Drilling Contractors, of which I am a Proud member.

I love all the women in my life, they make sure that I never have a special day, It’s all about them. I’ve had more honey dews put on me today than a guy just back from a 2wk stay in Vegas. Well got togo they have found out where I am……………………….

Long awaited, highly anticipated Oilfield Trash Part 2 stickers are in. Come by the Dinersaurus Restaurant at Rainbow 1 mile west of the Brazos River on us67 and get yours while supplies last.

Years ago I started buying land a little here a little there. One of my problems was no money, so all I could afford was gully washes and swamp land. Well it turns out that gully wash land has large amounts of water that run across it ( that can be captured). And swamp land or more commonly known as river bottom flood plane, has lots of surface water. Then one day Mr. Mitchell up in Wise county found a way to use large amounts of fresh water to bring in horizontal gas well ( know as, double up, fold over, start your engines and kick it ass 100,000 barrel frac). And here I be sitting on all this cheap ass gully wash, flood plain land. Who would have known.

Well I heard today that C&L out of Cleburne was bought by Night Hawk Tranpotation out of Houston, they also bought several other oilfield related companies in and around Cleburne. Also Lynch Sales formely Parts Helper in Rainbow was bought out by CenTex Pipeline a Union pipeline installion company. Also the 20 ac across the street to the west of us was sold to Excaliber Tank Truck out of Okla. Also Donnie McAnear sold his property to David Gardner Oilfield Construction out of Bowie. Most of these propertys are within 3 miles of our yard on 67.

Two women are talking, One mentions that her husband of 25 years had just passed away. She went on telling about her husbands last request, that he have a 30,000 dollar Headstone shaped like a Drilling Rig. Her friend said my gosh how big was this stone? Oh I’d say about 6.5 Carats.
