I am compelled to ask what a viscous superfluid is. cn
This term in drilling and completion terms is used to classify fluids with specific and desirable properties. Most generally referring to "sheer thinning" viscous fluids with high static "gel strengths". The thicker a fluid is the more solids it will carry in it. But the more viscous a fluid is the more it resists moving and requires more pressure to pump. Sheer Thinning fluids have the hydraulic properties of a thinner less viscous fluid while moving and resists particle separation and settling like a thicker more viscous fluid. This is significant in drilling and production instances because you can move more solid material in the fluid with less pressure over convention drilling or production fluid.

I look at it this way, if the companies that service are left un-regulated they will take short cuts and cover their tracks when there is an issue. If we would regulate it more there would be no issue.

Screw a well up, poison the water supply and they sue you. Everyone budgets for acceptable losses from law suites.

Find the guy that gave the order or okd the shortcut and give him life and shit would not happen.
This is how it works. In France. All major accidents/incidents, where there was harm, are investigated as a criminal negligence case. Somebody screwed up, unless the strict fact gathering of a criminal case, proves, beyond a reasonable doubt, there was no proximal human error.

so it IS Cheez Whiz!

just as i suspected all along.

Yo WyoGro, don't you ever get tired of banging your head against the wall? This is the same class of mental midgets that think the government killed Kennedy and flew planes into the WTC.

People can pretend they have not been exposed to better concepts, but what's done is done. :)

When your tap water is flammable, it may pose a problem. A lot of bad things have been done to the environment in the past 60 years. Anyone who thinks that pumping millions of gallons of this type of concoction into the earth isn't harmful is deluding themselves. My family makes big bucks off land that they own that is under gas leases. I live in poverty because I would not accept this money. My mother gets over $60,000.00 per month, and she can KEEP it.
Every rich kid I ever met said "I'm not rich, just my parents"
