aug 22 about 10:45 pm .........son was on the way to work to shreveport he call me to let me know that its a huge flame about 30 ft high coming out of the messenger well ...........not sure what this means but i know he said it lite up the sky out there ...........he told me remember that picture with the flame and everyone took it to me the messenger well...........this time it has one just like the picture
hmm...steve wonder if the shale is 100 ft thick in that area of our parish what does the shale (if it's in our area) looks like thickness wise?..thanks for the post
That's the million(s) dollar question. It has to thin out and/or get too deep at some point. At least now we have a good idea that it comes east and south of Messenger.
I drove by and took pics today (Aug. 24) about 6-PM of the Messenger well and can confirm too, that indeed there is an appox. 30 ft verticle pipe with a flame from it that looks like a "blow torch." Hope this bodes well for Natchitoches Parish for all involved. Looks like the corn crop came in good too as harvesting has begun there the last few days.
My "source" indicated, too, that the shale was about 100 ft thick
at the messenger well. 'Hope it makes it through Natchitoches
thick enough to warrant production.
If someone does get a real photo to post of the gas flare, it would be fun to see it, even if tiny in the distance, and cell-phone quality!
