There is opportunity for positive impact. Company I work had a big data science push and we are heavy adopters and has some interesting outcomes from data review.thepartygoat said:
Thinking of pursuing a Masters in Data Science. Want to get everyone's thoughts on where they think the biggest issues data management, and analysis there is in upstream?
Do you all think there is an opportunity for data science to make a positive impact and whether there's a need ofr data scientist?
we work together there.AgLA06 said:

Anyone know of any engineering positions available in Denver. I had a relative just move there and she's looking for a job. Can send resume.
if 112 passes it will be the most egregious example of an activist political group destroying themselves with poorly thought out measures. Oil and Gas accounts for like 8% of the states entire budget, and 6.5% of all jobs in Colorado. and this type of stuff is the reason we got out of that state earlier this year.gougler08 said:sockerton said:

Not going to be any left if they pass Prop 112

This initiative was designed to mandate that new oil and gas development, including fracking, be a minimum distance of 2,500 feet from occupied buildings such as homes, schools, hospitals, and other areas designated as vulnerable. Vulnerable areas are defined by the initiative as "playgrounds, permanent sports fields, amphitheaters, public parks, public open space, public and community drinking water sources, irrigation canals, reservoirs, lakes, rivers, perennial or intermittent streams, and creeks, and any additional vulnerable areas designated by the state or a local government."
...Quote:
Colorado Rising is leading the campaign in support of this initiative. Colorado Rising argued, "Currently, fracking operations are allowed to take place just 500 feet from a home and 1,000 feet from a school building (and right by school playgrounds). The industry has shown blatant disregard for public health and safety, and the current state regulatory body the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) has not provided responsible protective regulatory oversight to prevent inappropriate siting of toxic fracking operations adjacent to homes, schools and water sources."
Protect Colorado is leading the campaign in opposition to the measure. Protect Colorado argued that the measure would "devastate our economy, wipe out thousands of jobs, and endanger our environment. [It] would threaten private property rights and could even cost Colorado residents hundreds of millions of dollars in lawsuits." Karen Crummy, a spokeswoman of Protect Colorado, said, "This initiative is economically devastating to the state of Colorado. Not only would it cost thousands of jobs, but it would cost billions in actual economic impact."

Playing a little devil's advocate:
How much of an affect are we talking here? What would the total exploration footprint drop by if this went into effect? Finding creative ways to drill an extra 2,000 ft horizontally to find the same payzones might not be that monumental of a task...? I think it's a pretty stupid measure, but other than having to drill a little further , what else is causing issues.
I do see that re-entering an abandoned well would be considered "new development" which is dumb. And the list of "vulnerable areas" has grown and can be re-defined by local government (IMO, more local control is better, so if a community wants to bar fracking or exploration around their local area, that should be their call to say NIMBY).
Educate me, because while I disagree with the need for the measure, I don't see a BIG problem with it either.
Gotcha, I missed that part. So it comes down to what's defined as "Vulnerable". If it had stuck to just habitable buildings and riverbeds, it'd probably be alright.Gordo14 said:SpreadsheetAg said:...Quote:

Because if the terms, something like 90% of state land would be undrinkable. They are including this like dry creek beds as "vulnerable" so the end result is there is almost nowhere that the circles don't overlap. The DJ basin would be almost entirely undrillable if this passes.
The other issue is the support for it is coming from inflammatory and often inaccurate language like this. There is no connection being made to show how fracking 500 feet form a home and 1000 feet from a school is somehow extra dangerous. there might be parts of an O&G operation that would be but they single our fracking as their buzz word even though it is likely the safest part of the well life to be near a structure. the industry has not shown blatant disregard, in fact most up there have bent over backwards for saftey and health. in a 3 month period in 2017 I spent something like $1.5 million on nothing but general housekeeping type stuff to keep locations clean and nice. this was across like 70 locations. then the claim that frac ops are "toxic" is either very ignorant or fraudulently misleading. living in denver you will be exposed to far more toxic fumes than siting on a frac site (Citation needed).SpreadsheetAg said:Quote:
