The reason that they are going to be putting in these wells in the collingwood/utica shale up here (in the upper part of the the Lower peninsula also know as Northern Michigan) is that they don't have to drill down as far. Maybe about 4000 feet because of a possible bubble. Only 4000 feet???? There is a pipeline fairly close so they don't have to run much pipe to run into the big pipeline. Now if they are fracking at this level, at high pressure, when it is normally around 9,000 feet, what will happen to that pipeline and our water aquifiers? Will we feel it on the surface? Geez o petes what the heck are we doing? Charlevoix and Cheboygan counties will be hit hard with these wells. Remember, there are no regulations in place for these types of wells in this State. From a DNRE officials mouth, they aren't sure what is going to happen.
We have someone keeping an eye on these kinds of things and progresses.
I understand that for the well in Wolverine, Michigan was told they couldn't use "our"water so they are also drilling their own water well. I have a feeling that water well might be near where they will be drilling and thus fracking?? See a problem in any of this?????
I see a problem.....

The fight of small group of people in Northern Michigan against the oil and gas industry. All we want is it done safely and know the health hazards! Ah, the dreaded pink tape. Just two women who health has been so drastically changed since 2003 fighting the big boys and educating those who want to be educated and even those who don't.
