Pay Attention To The Flaring Column -- May 25, 2015

Another example of a good well taken off line. The four wells on this pad have all been completed so this one is probably not off-line due to need to complete neighboring wells.

25912, IA/1,162, Zavanna, Bills 5-8 3TFH, Crazy Man Creek, runs south, t8/14; cum 36K 3/15;

I remember blogging, when the issue first came up, about the slippery slope regarding flaring. 

N.B.:  these four wells are all on the same pad. Natural gas from two of the wells is being sold, so we know there is a natural gas pipeline to this pad. Or at least we should be able to assume there is. There must be another reason two of these wells were taken off line. 

Location of this four-well pad, just a few miles east of Williston, one of the busiest sites from the very beginning; easily accessible, not on federal land.

Wind Farms Remain Exempt From New Regulations
 
Birdlife is reporting:
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service today (May 22, 2015) announced its intent to address millions of grisly and unnecessary bird deaths by strengthening implementation of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, one of the nation’s oldest and most important wildlife conservation laws. The process will address threats like uncovered oil waste pits that trap and kill birds, gas flares that lure and incinerate birds, and unprotected communication towers and power lines that kill and electrocute birds by the tens of millions each year. 
There was no mention of wind farms in this article. Wind farms are still exempt from laws protecting migratory birds.

Take note: the new regulations also affect transmission lines. A transmission line simply to back up a wind farm hardly seems to make sense.
