Frac Tank Being Filled off FM 933

A large tank that will be used for fracturing the Cornerstone drills in southern Hill county is receiveing hundreds of thousands of gallons of water.




RE: $17K/net mineral acre - S.E. Arlington

CLARIFICATION: Regarding a recent anonymous comment about the $17K amount per net mineral acre offered to residential lessors in south Arlington. The lease contract states $7K per residential lot. However, please understand that it takes several residential lots to make up one 'net mineral acre'. That apparently is where one might get confused. Please click on this link for an explanation: Natural Gas Drilling: SE Arlington. Also, this next link provides further details: Payment Voucher and Detailed Summary .

Cordell's - Thanks for the Memories!

A Hill county landmark recently closed it's doors leaving a void in this tiny Hill county community. Best of luck to the Cordell family. Your hospitality will be greatly missed.

'Soundproofing' a Compression Station

I believe that 'soundproofing' a natural gas compression site is an oxymoron. Chesapeake's Edgecliff facility is a mere two blocks from our Tarrant county home. Not looking forward to them cranking those monsters up.
