Dallas, TX ~ Gas Processing Capital of the Southwest?

Those decisions are being made today at Dallas City Hall.  Or more likely, those decisions have already been made Behind-Closed-Doors.  There is a template.  It's called Fort Worth, Texas.  Thing is, Fort Worth has the gas wells, and now unless sanity prevails, it looks as if Dallas will be the processing plant. 

Rick Perry and Barry Smitherman have done good work for the industry.  Real good. 

God. Help. Us. Please.

Dallas, TX Emergency Media Advisory (January 10, 2013) by

Dallas, TX City Hall. Wednesday. August 1, 2012. 1:00 PM. Be There!

(Dallas Drilling)

The details are here ~ on the Dallas Observer. We learned just today that Ed Ireland, PhD, of the Barnett Shale Energy Education Council (BSEEC) will be speaking on behalf of the gas operators. 

BlueDaze has kept up with Mr. Ireland for several years, now. He's been very busy keeping all of us informed.

It's a critical day for Dallas and the entire North Texas region. Heck! The world will be closely watching to see what happens! It should be HOT!  

No pressure, Dallas! :=)

The Mineral Deed

In recent years, DR Horton (America's Builder) has been holding on to the minerals and groundwater when they sell homes in their subdivisions.

Texas Sharon writes a stunner today on BlueDaze: 

"Amid fracking fears, lenders refuse to fund DR Horton homes."

So, now, in the beautiful Mountain Creek area of southwestern Dallas County, TX ~ a certain kind of property transaction occurred in mid-February 2012:

Mineral Deed ~ DR Horton to DRH Energy*

*Not to be confused with a Gas and/or Oil Lease

Scroll down to Exhibit A in the above mineral deed to see the general location of the property being deeded.

Kind of Important Question: So, why are George H.W. Bush's ancestors discussed in a DR Horton Mineral Deed??!!

Oh, they were thumpin' for shale gas just last year out that way...

The End.
