Water tankers are for the most part painted a color. Red, green white, black, etc. Whereas oil tankers have a look of stainless steel about then.

And again, water tankers are noticeably smaller in diameter, water being heavier than oil. 

The Blackbrush well could be an operator's nightmare of the 90's come true. There was a major fault in the Pitkin and surrounding fields, and UPR and the rest were scared witless if they  drilled south of the fault, it might be all saltwater. God knows they had as high as eighty per cent water cuts to deal with north of the fault. But, there was some pretty fair production in and around the Sugartown field, indicating a possible extension of the Masters Creek sweet spot. That, hopefully will extend to connect with the Brookeland Field in East Texas if the new players drill another round.

<one empty flat bed came out today...…>>>

Well, any good oilfield hand knows you can haul the oil produced by a dry hole on a flatbed...without tarping.

Yep.  And stainless steel tankers haul a lot of different products including milk.

Milk requires sideboards...due to the lower viscosity than oil.

Only if it's buttermilk.

Skip, a play on “Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD.”  I know well watching is fun, but it can produce a lot of stress and anxiety.  Maybe as part of all lease agreements, operators should be required to publish this information in a timely fashion???

One can ask for all data related to a well drilled on a lease, but that normally comes with a confidentiality clause to not release the data.

Operators will publish only what they have to and hold everything else close to the vest.

Ideally, one would lover to see all data that the operator has. But data filings vary by state (and vary a lot).

Thanks for the translation, littleasy.  Part of land owners being anxious is related to lack of knowledge of how drilling and completing a well proceeds.  The prospect of potential mail box money drives a desire to know if the lottery is hit or not.  What we try to do here on GHS is walk our members through the process and explain, where possible, what is happening and why.  Although each well shares some common steps, each is a unique event so we will never know 100% of what we would wish to know.  In time the publicly traded energy companies in the LA AC play will provide details of their success, or lack thereof, in their corporate presentations.  Those companies release quarterly operational updates and occasionally separate press releases.  More often than not, those presentations will contain information that has not yet  been reported to the state.  So here's what you do, go to the websites for the company or companies that have leased your area.  If you are leased to Torrent or Blackbrush, keep in mind that since that are not publicly traded they don't publish quarterly reports.  Get on the email list for press releases or presentations for the company or companies active in your area and look for any mention of our AC play under "Operations" or "Operating Areas" on their website.

Would one be in trouble after 2?  Sounds like Superior Bar & Grill.  Hopefully there is a volunteer among the membership.
