Dove hunting and watching the sun set behind the oil well being drilled on the horizon. TFM.

      gapeach you are probably an idiot and never seen a drilling rig before. My grip gave me a job working for an oil company in Texas and we drill all oil wells and zero natural gas.

      GAPEACH-Why dont you zip it and watch another episode of Tyler Perry. Texas can’t be touched. All you have is Turner Broadcasting and a bunch of Canadiens running around the CNN Center asking for money. TX not only runs oil, but we do natural gas and alternative fuel things as well. That’s why we are home to some many fn billionaires. Innovation, oil money, and the dream to be our own country so we won’t have to put up with douche bags like you.

    Frattison, how is it easy to tell the difference? A drilling rig is a drilling rig. You can’t tell what they’re drilling for by looking at it. So, unless I’m missing something, it’s not particularly easy to tell the difference. They’re drilled in exactly the same way. And gapeach, That very well might be the stupidest, most ignorant comment I’ve ever seen. There’s a couple of areas of Texas that is almost all natural gas wells, whereas the majority of wells produce oil and gas. So know our state before you try to insult us, you ignorant ass.

      So your telling me you can’t tell the difference between a gas and a liquid. If he saw the well being drilled and noticed liquid being pumped out then it is an oil well. If Titleist was talking about the equipment then yeah the same equipment can extract either.

      Frattison you’re retarded you never see the actual product unless there is a spill it is pumped into containers how else would they be able to keep the gas from escaping.

      When you drill a well, sometimes there is enough pressure in the earth that when oil is struck it shoots in the air. That is all I thought the post was talking about. My apologies for not being clear enough on my first post. Like Fratcademy says, it would be a pretty awesome sight to see, especially since it would be rare in Texas as much of that pressure has been relieved due to past wells.
