The Westchester Shale Gas Flare Is Up

The worker appears to be a bit wobbly. Hopefully, it's not from inhaling the fumes since he's clearly not wearing any breathing gear.
March 4, 2011 around 2:00 AM

Corn Valley A Well 1H Incinerator Flare 
Grand Prairie, TX (southwestern Dallas County, Texas)


This shale gas well flaring event was captured in the early morning hours of March 4, 2011 (it was very windy).  



A worker can be seen walking (sleepily or wobbily) toward the incinerator. The worker is wearing a hard hat, but no breathing gear. We worry about his safety (and our neighbors residing 537 ft. from this flaring)!


There is only supposed to be one (1) well drilled on this site so far.  So, we will assume that this is the flaring for only one well. If it's for two (2) then that's news to us. **Update:  It's one well.**


We have been told (on good authority) that this is one of only three incinerator flaring units of its kind in the world!!  



We're very lucky ~ but mostly our neighbors on Westchester's Donnie Lane are extremely lucky...you see, most did not choose to sign mineral leases and this flaring event is practically in their back yards. 



Yay, Team Chesapeake!!
