the gates that way he was killed when he would go a mile below zero and on board. we have three hundred head of al and come down out of the high country they're incredibly beautiful. i'm a fourth generation rancher and when i was little dad would let me have two cows out of the herd so i could have known her. for my favorite things is the red winged blackbirds and she was the honey honey directly back birds are back you know. this has been my favorite place i've ever lived in my life i must say representatives is one your

you will have called interplaying for every regular from senate house to the legislation today directing president bush's witnesses represent the will countries agreed one hundred six billion dollars worth of travel twenty dollars a barrel not was not the solution for twenty six but there she is. we call it our new neighbor neighbor i know seven. we are innocent. the state situation where we on the surface and someone else on some mineral rights and what happens in colorado and i think in most western states is the mineral rights. are gone and the law on mineral extraction goes bad hundreds of years that says the mineral owner has a right to extract that mineral and to a certain extent can extracted any impact the surface without compensation.

will. have seventy acres here and i can't convince them that they need to drill somewhere besides two hundred feet from our house. policy has been to drill drill drill drill some more era very strong industry they've got a tremendous amount of political influence and an awful lot of money. as a civil servant i spoke out. but it's difficult to get was because you feel constantly if you're risking your job and your family's future. i don't know. if you're going to say as i sat there and looked out my window and i back yard all i could think was there's no way i can stay up for this i'm sitting

here with all of the right resources these people need help and he put forth the problems that people will be looking right for. change. that they're motivated by profits and unfortunately are motivated by short term profits they don't take that off easy. the tribe has it you can load here and you come over here and live in my house for a week. i have no rights.

the rocky mountains are seeing an unprecedented boom in oil and gas drilling montana wyoming colorado new mexico utah the boom is happening all over the country there's oil and gas operations in thirty two states right now but the rocky mountain states are really seeing the vast majority of the expansion. and it's overflowing into communities where she they are seeing this right in their backyards. they wanted to put this location one of the first places that they wanted to put it and the surprise you say we have three well out there you don't have in the city. a split estate situation is when somebody who the surface of their land does not their resources that are underneath their inland for example oil and gas or other minerals a private person could own a house with a land and the federal government or another private individual might on the

resources under it the person who owns the oil and gas has rights to access that oil and gas which means that whoever owns the surface probably can't control what happens on their own property. in the middle of the field believe this this they represent their outer boundary. of there. would be about two hundred feet from our house which is all foreclosures because we say we don't want to smell and they say well i'd rather smell like. life this is you crazy you think you think it's a personal life you feel so helpless you know. displease state is a concept that dates back to when the english king reserved his rights to gold and silver deposits despite who owned the land as america was homesteaded the government continue the tradition of this kind of separate ownership. for one

minute if anything is often a hundred fifty feet away from your house one and half times of the length of the derrick so falls over one hundred years we see this look on people's faces and they get that look and i saw only the minute i can't be right that's not fair that can't be but it is that's the way it is this is an active drilling rig near a small house showing just how close the tin can be and how large the pad is during drilling this site can cover several acres before it is reduced to a smaller pad for the producing well. today with cries for more domestic oil and gas production. energy companies have been aggressively leasing mineral rights so that they can drill beneath both private and public lands all over the rocky mountain west this industry has been expanding dramatically tens of thousands of new wells across the region in colorado alone we've got about thirty thousand wells

and we expect another thirty thousand in the next five or six years for decades the oil and gas industry has lobbied to create a regulatory climate which is pave the way for the current drilling. that in two thousand after the bush cheney election there was a dramatic acceleration in drilling activity both had received large contributions from gas interests and the vice president had been the chief executive of. a major player in the drilling industry. in the days of our growing economy also means expanding our domestic production of oil and natural gas which are vital fuel for transportation electricity and manufacturing whatever our hopes for developing alternative sources and for conserving energy and that's part of our plan the reality is the supply virtually one hundred percent of our transportation needs and many democrats for the bush cheney energy policy they felt they were shut out of

the process of developing the nation's approach to energy this administration is aghast at all administration frankly and so they're they're wedded to an old policy they're wedded to a twentieth century policy where we need a twenty first century policy you have the bush administration you know to all men at the very top and they aren't sympathetic they're making very serious mistakes because they've talked to themselves and the energy companies and only themselves in the energy companies we don't know what other provisions they have that special interest provisions that are easy to add in when you're writing when. these bills in secret in two thousand and five the administration's energy bill passed with support from members of both political parties it provided the gas and oil industry . of dollars in subsidies tax breaks and research money sixty five percent of the

current subsidies go to gas and oil and you have this imbalance we ought to have sixty five percent or more eighty percent ought to be go into alternative renewable technology to energy efficiency the energy bill makes practical reforms to the oil and gas permitting process to encourage new exploration after years of debate and division. congress passed a good bill. it all began here for us twenty five years ago when my husband moved here then i moved here eighteen years ago. arlen and i were married in one nine hundred eighty eight i was a pharmaceutical can last for many years. i has been is a civil engineer with

a specialty in water and he is retired a few years ago we ran into some real problems with the oil and gas industry because they have begun drilling here from canada and gas contacted us in the early spring of two thousand and four with the proposal that they would put wells on our land and we began negotiations surface use agreement with them and renegotiated for nine months and the bulldozer showed up one day and began ripping and tearing before we had signed a surface use agreement. the regulations require that oil and gas companies consult with landowners before drilling if the landowner doesn't agree to the terms the company proposes it can post a bond with the state go on to the land and drill anyway that's what happened to the bells. when we first just i asked the seller about the mineral rights and he

said he didn't have to because so eighty five percent of land owners in colorado do not own the rights to the minerals under their land until you get on the federal property i think it is private interests that all human rights all sort of here once you're on the forest you're v.l.a.n. and of course it's a government garfield county located high in the colorado rockies was always a quiet neural area for its residents. but in the one nine hundred ninety s. things started to change. gas unoiled really began to boom and development has expanded dramatically each year when i first came to colorado twenty seven years ago the energy production was for all the time that there was the synthetic fuels corporation and it was all about. natural gas and they didn't have pipelines far and so they were trying to figure out what to do with all the natural gas and you know there was a lot of there was no use for it at the time now natural gas is the biggest thing

that's going on unless from colorado. israel and canada leases in here cross roads build their corporation and over there on ten acre spacing for me are really what you're looking for and you know how many wells around paired it i bet you could see three four hundred wells. you're standing right over a pipeline right here by the way. brewer spearman we had a spill. you see over my head here we've got the neighbor's wells that are all three forum over there and that stack closest to the blue one day it look like old faithful had over there the separator spewed paraffin out all over the pad and on over into

a good number of acres of our parish church and that paraffin was laced with effects chemicals hydrocarbons of various kinds we were concerned it would contaminate and did. it in a grasses were heavy and dry and want to use burning the d.h. in writing carbon along with it so we wouldn't get it again for. a couple of software it's about ten thousand wells here in the basin which is. an incredible number of wells to try and manage on a daily basis and so as a simple example we do well reviews and look at what our well should be delivering and spend five minutes per well. it takes about nine months to go

through that process everything below us down here is our main thing and you. we'd be good up on the big here is big the benches those bankers are just littered with wells approximately five hundred all total. and now with a new wells bases that they approved will go from mobile five hundred to about two hundred within the next twenty years we drill that averages about three hundred fifty new wells per year when you take colorado side and include that we think that conoco phillips has probably another ten thousand to wells there where you will drill in the basin over the next forty years. to sharply increase drilling on gilbert r. mentions ranch is typical of what has happened to vast expanses of northern new mexico land. a satellite image shows the crisscrossing patterns of access roads and

wells extending for hundreds of miles across some one county and north west new mexico. the land surface has been spotted up for bad that i can recognize it from the first time i saw at. the ranch lands of san juan county aren't the only areas inundated by drilling rigs . in the towns near gilbert are meant as land dura wells everywhere in neighborhoods and near schools. gas industry has been here for fifty plus years and we do drill in populated areas you can go out here a couple hundred yards from this office and find a pretty decent well conoco phillips is the largest producer in the san juan basin when you look at the total of twenty our workforce directly and indirectly

supporting forest it's about eight percent the local population so we're a very large employer in the basin him. industry has brought jobs and money to the . bushra gilbert are meant to the price is much too high. this gate will be the gate to intrude into my property the old company had me completely logged out for two and a half years the only way they would give me a key. is if i agreed to keep the gate locked at all times. in history has the mentality that. it's all theirs and don't belong to nobody else . and that's what they tell us when they come out the grill here on our land. during our way. we just think the good neighbor program is something that is somewhat elementary benefice respect because if you don't know two things will

happen first is the government will regulate and a lot of times regulate out of business and second is the mexico becomes an unfriendly business environment and oil and gas industries go elsewhere i don't think the state wants that well and gas industry doesn't want that we have a very large emphasis with our three hundred twenty five member companies about being a good neighbor about talking to people about doing the things. that you would do in your neighborhood with your next door neighbor. in the us in the lower forty eight on shore the boom that is currently going on has driven a lot by technology or been a lot of technological advances with horizontal drilling with fracture stimulation one of the key elements to finding and getting the resource out of very tight sand or hard rock is a fracking process fracking is just a short word for fracturing hydraulic fracturing or fracking as it's commonly

called is a drilling technique first commercialised by how bird in one thousand nine hundred forty nine i was in with very high powered water and sand and a slightly soapy mixture and all it does is it goes down and it is fractures little tiny fractures in the rock and then sand goes into those fractures and allows that gas to escape. and then the gas flows in to the pipe up to the surface of the people's homes. hydraulic fracturing is largely responsible for the domestic drilling boom because of its high cost it was not widely used until recently in the one nine hundred ninety s. when the price of natural gas shot up high enough to make it affordable this is here in the reserve it's here don't you see you called warne is one of the world's leading authorities on endor cringe disrupting chemicals in the environment and

their impact on humans here the threats are coming all the way which is thirty miles to hear she has been studying the chemicals used by the industry for drilling and extraction and documenting their effects basically our first list of the chemicals that were being used was this very very sure and an interesting list that e.t.a. put together it certainly was uncovered heads that we know really found out very rapidly that it was no small list they don't tell you everything that's in a product you may only get five percent of what's in that product and the rest of it is proprietary or they just don't get it they don't have to. the island gas deposits below ground contain toxic compounds that are brought to the surface during drilling these compounds pollute the environment and can cause health problems but the impacts of drilling are made even worse by the chemical products

that are injected during the process dr colborne has documented over two hundred products used in colorado drilling over ninety percent contained chemicals with adverse health effects. there is not only proof that there is anything harmful and the fracking fluids that are used to fracture the wells in our fluids are not toxic and we get a lot of it as well. mis understanding of what was actually in the fluids i have fracking fluid taken right out of a tracking truck in my office i've had it in my mouth it tasted it and i'm just fine for people who are telling you that these products are safe first ask them what they have been trained in to find out who's paying their salary and third actually hand them a real glass. of something that you have taken from in about forty times

and ask them to drink it. i think it's just so far the people understand it we live here and all that also so i would be an asset or announced that. he and harold hofmeister live across the road from the belle farm surrounded by an ever increasing number of natural gas wells are where and bad actually sleeping and . we heard this pop and then our son called he said that the well was on fire and my husband wanted to try to go outside and it was too hot on the deck so he couldn't remove them lawyer right out weighed our all and then the fire trucks came but they waited way down because there was nothing they could do a photo id for more food to burn oh yeah founder of the yeah so i think they were there basically for our homes and if they caught fire or something you know one of

our structures. and just real accidents and spills are common in these communities between two thousand and three and two thousand and eight he's estimated that there were one files and four hundred and thirty five spills in colorado. nearly a quarter of these skills are believed to have contaminated either ground or surface water in the state. every time we get supply it's like we see what's going on the sea. islands and putting up with you know. a little farther down dry hollow road is the divide creek. ok here we go that's where lisa bracken and her family live. this is that was first discovered. we got a call one day april first from a neighbor steve thompson and said you know i found some stuff out here on my place

it doesn't look right. come look at it and he said this is not normal we all were involved in the water of. life little first your own body. that's all there after all. on both is in our properties there was a the evidence of bubbling in the creek we didn't know what it was it looked like a pepsi can there was just an eruption of bubbles fizzing all over the place in the reeds in the water in an effort to convince authorities that the bubbling was not occurring naturally lisa and her family demonstrated that the gas would ignite. by. water samples taken from the grown water in the divide creeks e bay area showed levels of the carcinogen benzene forty eight times government standards gas was released into the creek for fifty five days before the well

believed to have caused the seat was resealed after they were mediated the well evidence of the sea largely disappeared here it went away and pepys place on langer's it there met a significantly and there's still some evidence of it there but it's the only lingering presence. to this day gas continues to bubble up at the seams main exit point on pepe langer's land. so what they're trying to do is contain everything the conch i mean a full plate in a certain area if there's friends in turin and nobody knows how long it's going to three or if ever. well really you know everything is going to be freed up. according to a statement provided by the encounter corporation nothing that and can a did was out of compliance with the regulations in place at that time extensive

monitoring following the incident indicates there was no contamination of residential water sources as a result of the sea and air convection system is in place to remove benzene from the groundwater in the plume area spills and groundwater contamination can occur anywhere there is drilling industry representatives often try to downplay their environmental impact this it's called matters so coloradans who if you will with gas will see drilling is making the series spike in oil and gas drilling in colorado is how to get senators from a shit about the effect it will truly off your.
