Gas Drilling

Yesterday was warm and sunny, and a good day to get some drone photos of the gas drilling operation at our family trust property in Forks township.

It only took a couple of days to move this drill rig onto the well pad and start the drilling operation.
Another view of the drilling operation. Drill rig in the center, crew quarters on the left and drill pipe storage on bottom left. The operation in the upper right removes the the drilled rock tailings from the drilling "mud" solution. The tailings are sent to a landfill and the drilling mud is reused.
A close-up view of the drilling operation. In the upper left of the photo is Ernie's new deer blind that is located inside the fence surrounding the drilling operation. New wildlife food plots are being planned.
