oil leaking into cold lake
Have a look at this, apparently 1.8 million liters of oil has leaked into cold lake.
Have a read for yourself http://m.vice.com/en_ca/read/oil-has...-one-knows-why Dave |

They pressurized their steam to high and broke the cap rock so the path of least resistance is upwards. Bad bad situation and nearly impossible to fix. |
Not into cold lake but near cold lake in various areas.
Fracing to the surface? |
Ahhh okay okay makes sense, sorry haha

That's what they are doing I'm that area and it had been done safely by lots of other companies. I'm not sure what caused the leak and won't guess but whatever happened it's definitely bad news. Hope they get it fixed soon. |
Did some work on a well yesterday , stuff happening that should not be happening !

Yes its true, there is oil leaking into Cold Lake.. Out of all the FAT Lake Trout... Being serious, CNRL over injected steam in a SAGD field which over pressurized the Formation causing oil to come to surface( very shallow Formation there.. 350-400m TVD) it flowed into a small non fish bearing lake. CNRL has( by Order) drained the lake as part of the clean up, and supposedly will refill it this spring, as it was home for alot of waterfowl. Very bad situation... And Thankfully it did not afect Cold Lake Directly. The Oilfield activity is not located in proximity to Cold Lake.

I don't have a sawmill, don't own any shares in one either. Although everyone knows you have to be a big hypocrite to criticize anything big oil does...oil makes the world go around, so big deal they filled up a little pond with a natural product. |

2) he is against any oil activity, pulp mills, saw mills are fine?? 3) physics formula?, it is injection pressure 101, some heads better roll, it is BS that happened in this day and age, you know "exactly" what your pressure limitations are and you stay 20% below that.... |

Hey Hal,
Can they run back in horizontally above the fractured cap rock and squeeze cement to close the fracture? How would you think they will deal with it? |
