There are \nstill a number of wells without API numbers, but the operator had, for \nmost of the wells, put in the required secondary containment dikes for \ncondensate storage tanks. There were still maintenance problems, even \nthough most of the wells had recently painted metalwork. There were \nstill problems with the well access roads and the sites&#8217; vegetation in a\n number of cases. And we found two sites with surface contamination \nshowing elevated chloride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second part of the Gas Well Study \nprovides a summary of our experiment where we applied various \nconcentrations of chloride to a single species of woodland vegetation. <a href=\"http:\/\/sootypaws.livejournal.com\/23674.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">We&#8217;ve written a post about that with a link to the report<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One  disturbing thing we saw this year was severe corrosion of the steel  condensate storage tanks. Condensate is crude petroleum and brine that  comes up with the gas. Several tanks&#8217; trap doors were entirely rusted  through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" src=\"http:\/\/sootypaws.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1363_rusted_3584.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-419\" srcset=\"http:\/\/sootypaws.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1363_rusted_3584.jpg 450w, http:\/\/sootypaws.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1363_rusted_3584-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> It&#8217;s impossible to say how long these tanks will safely hold the condensate before leaking. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ve completed the text for our Gas Well Study, 2010 and it is now available for download.
