Very nice….has your gheenoe seen the salt yet?

[Grant Wright]

We’re looking for a new house with room for an “office”, which I plan to make my man room.

As a mineral owner, Ive personally been involved in projects throughout TX, LA, NM, OK, CO, PA, WV, NY, ND involving over 1,000 wells completed with multi stage fracs. Some with 28 seperate frac stages, and have never encountered a problem with groundwater or surface water contamination.

[Grant Wright]

Fracing as a completion method was pioneered by George Mitchell in the Barnett shale in the Fort Worth Basin  and has opened up a new frontier for the E&P Sector. Most of the new, large resource plays are highly dependent on multistage fracs.

As mentioned, the issue is not the actual frac job, but the flow back of the waste water when the well cleans up. Companies typically inject the water back into the ground from the same formations they came from.

Most operators are moving towards slick water fracs without gels or other chemical, instead using special sand to prop up the fractures and increase permeability and porosity of the hydrocarbonate source rock.

I know Zach doesn’t like to jump off topic so if you have any question PM me.

I noticed that Simms has a facebook page.

oh man, you know when you hear something, and you know instantly who it sounds like, and takes you back to a few memories
KAY DUB, how many times have I heard him say “SIIIICK”
K-Dub and the Hopper Dropper….very small world…Chimy Chonga
Solid video!

It’s tough to go wrong on a fishing trip with Kay Dub….priceless one liners and endless laughs.

I love the airborne poon with the spray – I’ve seen a bunch of jumping tarpon shots but never one like that one.

I had never heard of Mystery Ranch until we hiked the divide this summer. All of the guides and base camp staff had Mystery Ranch bags. They are probably the highest quality pack made right now.

Nice pics!!

[Grant Wright]

Wow! Henry, what kind of filter do you use?

[Grant Wright]

Another good thing about a liner.

[Grant Wright]

Zach,  I did a 7 night hike along the continental divide in Colorado in early June (lows in the lower to mid 20’s). I used a Marmot down bag rated at +20 with a Coolmax eskimo liner (adds about 4 degrees of warmth) and an Outdoor Research Bivy sack.

Adding a Bivy is the way to go.  My bivy sack is competely waterproof and adds a lot of warmth (uncertain as to the exact amount of added warmth).  The real beauty of the Bivy is in the waterproof protection.  As I’m sure you know, if you’re down gets wet you’re SOL. 7 out of the 7 nights we were on the trail, we never pitched a tent and slept only in the bag/bivy.

One more thing – the Liner/Bag/Bivy is super light and highly compressible.

Fly fishing films continue to get better and better.

Nice fish….it’s a shame he killed it.
