Hi Bob: I got back from TV about 3 hours ago, this trip made for a long day!! They are testing to beat the band!! When I arrived at ~ 7:30 pm the pilot light on the flare stack (~100 ft) was burning and at first glance things did not look that interesting. I took a few photos with a long lens because the light was going fast. After the photos I took a closer look with my trusty binoculars to see if I could identify the incinerator. The first thing I saw was a large piece of unfamiliar equipment, I would guess about 6'x6'x25' high. From the flames and glow, top and bottom, it was a no brainer this was the incinerator. At the top is a small forcing cone 3'to 4' in diameter. The thing that really caught my attention was the large heat plume coming off this incinerator. I have no idea how to even venture a guess at the flow rate of the gas being burned. I have observed many stacks over the years and this one was certainly putting out lots of heat. This incinerator also makes quite a bit of noise as I could easily hear it 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile away. As for the rest of the well site I observed the following equipment: 4x400 bbl tanks, separator, flare stack, coiled tubing unit, Canadian Fracmaster unit (I assume this was used for the acid job) and the air monitoring units (Splash & Dore). After observing this site for a while I checked out the Startech site to the north and the BEA site to the south and they are both still drilling. While checking out the BEA site I noticed a flare as opposed to the pilot light at the Berkley site about 3 miles to the north. This only lasted for a few minutes and I am taking a guess that the flare length was 1/3 to 1/4 of the height of the flare stack. I would take this estimate with a grain of salt as I was 3 miles away and did not have a good angle on the flare with respect to wind. The best I can say is this flare looked as large as any that I have seen at this well site during previous testing operations. Enough late night rambling. Regards From Alberta Swamp Thing
