- foam and natural gas
- in place of CO2 which is already used in some parts of the state
- if it works, the idea would spread quickly
- "would immediately end the flaring problem"

1. The EOR pilot is a hopeful sign. Glad to see the experiment. Hope it does better than the EOG EOR attempt from many years ago. Curious how the Liberty attempt did also.
ReplyDelete2. I hate the discussion in the linked article about getting creative and looking for a market for H2S. It's a waste product and the cost of cleanup is well higher than the cost of the equipment. This antiflaring plan by Helms and the ND politicians has been a disaster. Should let them flare freely if that is what they decide for economic reasons.
Yes, I didn't get too excited about the H2S issue. I think they were thinking out loud. With the same data, the same issues, there would be regulators and state officials using that as a wedge to shut down fracking (think New York). I appreciate regulators and state officials working WITH the industry rather than AGAINST the industry.
