Guages and meters are wrapped tightly in a winter coat made of insulation and duct tape.

Cornerstone 1H and 2H Units

Unlike the Cornerstone 3H, the 1H and 2H units are not accessible for production readings.

Even with the gates locked tight, both units appear to be producing. A shared compressor pushes gas to a main gathering line about 1/2 mile east of this location.

Nice Weather for a Playday

Lots of folks with trailer loads of horses enjoy a beautiful afternoon on FM 310, near the west end of Lake Aquilla. Hey, I know this place!

I should have stopped for a closer look but was pressed for time, as usual.

Winter Colors are Deceiving

Looking at these pictures taken 3 weeks ago one would never believe it reached a record 83 degrees today in D/FW. Unless of course you are a native Texan.

Dual Rigs near Lake Benbrook

Twin rigs operate atop a hill near Hwy 377. The site overlooks Lake Benbrook in Tarrant county. This area has been a hot spot for EnCana Oil and Gas.

Merry Christmas!

XTO's Watson A-1H Pad Site

XTO has just started construction of a pad for their Watson #A-1H drill just north of HCR 1221 on FM 933. This is just north of the Thousand Trails camp grounds, and about 4.5 miles NNW of Whitney.

Forest's Cornerstone 3H 12/14/08

Total gas production at the 3H unit closes in on 200 million cubic feet. The 3H seems to be the most consistant producer of the 3 Cornerstone units.

Gas production numbers have remained steady for many months making the 3H the best producing unit to date in far southern Hill county.

Thumper Parking in Rear

A lone seismic "thumper" truck sits behind a "heap silo" on FM 933 near Lake Aquilla. Along with exploration, seismic has slowed in many areas of the Barnett Shale.

Quicksilver's Norris 1H-7H Units

Not sure which Norris horizontal unit this is, but 7 wells is a lucky number on any property.

Looking south from the Norris lease toward the McPherson Dairy.
