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
i agree...........if my son would had leave in time and not be late for work he could had taking one with his cell phone ..........but wish someone close to there would take one
yeah, if i would only leave for work a few min earlier i'd be able to stop on the side of the interstate where cars are going by me at 80+ mph in the dark... but on the bright side that flame puts out a lot of light, as i said earlier the flame seems to be about 30 ft high from the interstate so it could be more, could be less. i dont think they would really welcome me trekking accross the field with a tape measure and fireproof suit in hand. anyway i hope this doesnt give people false hopes but i'm finally starting to get a good feeling about this. if only the oag companies would decide to buy a few more sections... like ours. everyone have a good day
Well, we certainly don't want anyone to get killed trying to take a picture of any well much less the messenger well. All the visual reports are encouraging and for that I'm thankful.
the flame is still burning. they will do this for a couple of days and allow the formation to clean up. the well will them be put in line monday or tuesday and they will then know what the flow rate will be.
in regards to this well it would surprise me if anything was posted on for the next month. i hope your right but tomorrow is wednesday so im not holding my breath!
i passed by messenger well today about 1030am on I-49 and there was a big flame coming from it. i took pics from my car, with my cell. great stuff. (i hope) just letting everyone know.
Would anybody have any idea what size choke/ orifice wells are flow tested with or does it depend on the well/ operator. I guess they are flow testing the well and flaring to establish flows?
