Hi GDL, I wonder whether what your brother-in-law saw was anything like what happened south of Sydney last year and which was filmed by Jeremy Buckingham. It turned out that AGL, the company doing CSG extraction, were supposedly cleaning and a jet of water and foam shot into the air. Whether this was produced water from the CSG well, I don't know, but in your brother-in-law's case, I think that he should take this further. As I said to Ozone Doug, perhaps you could tell a local anti-csg group. They may be able to help you. Best to find out as this is probably only going to get worse as more and more CSG wells come into production.

Hi mumso, I did think about contacting a group but as no one else in the family can feel it i feel a bit sheepish lol. Also made me think about people that feel vibration from wind generators which i thought was over reaction . Makes me think a little different now ,live and learn . Also heard we will get another 300 wells as Santos are bringing forward their 2015 program .Cheers Doug

Apparently, this is more of a low-frequency bass rumble, like from a far-off loud sound system.

[quote=ozone doug]Well i can say we have an impact out here in Roma ,I live 6kms from one site and the last 3 months i have felt the fracking vibrating through my house and bed on and off. Kind of disturbing at 3am and when i can't sleep.

Can guarnantee you mate that the vibration you are feeling is not hydraulic fracturing... Aside from the fact you are over 6km from the nearest well, I have stood beside many wells that are being fracced, and the only vibration you feel is off the 3 V12 Engines that are running the frac spread... We have used seismic geophones around our well heads before during fraccing and sometimes they even struggle to pick up anything...

Aside from that it only takes 1 or 2 days to complete the frac, provided there is no equipment break downs or the like... 4 or 5 days at the most... 3 months of constant vibration, not to sure whats going on there mate... My house sometimes vibrates to, but thats usually cause of the massive possum that lives in my ceiling (drives me insane that bloke

cheers...

It's all about spin to bewilder those who do not fully understand. Just like the dig it out of the ground as quick as they can obsession the mining corporations have for a quick buck and mindlessly destroy the land for decades if not centuries to come. This fracking con is poisoning the ground.
It's not difficult to read and see the damage done by the process and toxins pumped into the ground. It's all about money and who can bribe the appropriate agency.....

AzzaG You know more than me , Just saying what i have felt and you are correct it is only a short period of time and as you said 2 days then gone then reappears a few weeks later .
Someone else asked if i had noticed it today without asking. You are probably right that is not what is causing it.
Just my assumption. It really feels like a road roller vibration but bearly felt ,I first went looking for road works lol. That was what lead me th the drill site .
I do live next to whe Warrago Hwy and the road vibration is different .Thanks for your input.
My missus tells me my farts cause more vibration and are more to worry about .cheers doug

Haha she's a lucky woman

Like I have said in past comments mate, any questions just ask... I have worked in the industry for years now up here in moranbah... I have heard it all mate, actually I was at a car wash in rockhampton a couple of months back when this lady behind me spotted the arrow energy logos on my cruiser... I had to spend the next 20minutes listening to her rant and rave about what we are doing to the planet, one of her statements was, "you are draining the radiator of the earth" , gotta hand it to her, I had never heard it put that way before... Anyway haha...

There is a lot of spin out there mate, some of which I do not deny is very concerning... But a lot of it is just down right untrue... And I am always happy to take the time to explain to people what is "actually" involved...

Cheers...

AzzaG,we are going to trake a look at the drill site in the next week is there any thing that would tell us that this site would be for gas and not just for water................. GDL

GDL gas sites are a pretty easy give away...they are quite large 70m x 70m or bigger... If its an exploration well it should have a smaller 5 or 6 inch surface casing with a decent size ball valve on the top... That's if they haven't plugged and abandoned it yet, which they will do with an exploration well... The other give away will be drilling pits if they are not filled in, or they didn't drill pitless...

If its going to be a flow test (appraisal) well it will have a large 8 to 10 inch surface casing, with a pretty solid looking surface plug on it... Once again the other give away will be drilling pits and the likes, and also it will be a 70m x 70m pad or bigger... Also with one of these wells they may have also started construction of a dam nearby, if there's no dam they may have ring tanks or the like...

Please do not attempt to open the surface plugs, while its highly unlikely... There is always a chance that water may have moved around since they have drilled the well and the well may have a build up of gas in it... That will give you quite a fright... They will more than likely be locked though...

Cheers...

thanks AzzaG will keep you posted...............GDL

(Not quite) Breaking News. Here is footage, captured by Dr Patricia Petersen, Leader of the Australian Independents, which clearly demonstrates that coal seam gas is leaking into the Brisbane River.

Thanks Loopy Radar. Have started to learn a bit more about CSG & the whole thing is bl**dy scarey!

I would have thought csg would have killed that grass,has there been any follow up on this.Also would like to know where it is (location ect)so i can seek more imformation. .GDL

Judy Armstrong Stiles had no idea what she was signing away when she and her husband Carl agreed to let Chesapeake Energy operate natural gas wells on their Bradford County land.

That was three years ago. For Carl, it was a lifetime.
