We have less challanging environmental problems. Our problem is that most
of the easy oil and gas is gone. There's far more left than has been harvested over the last hundred years, but the required technology to get it has just been developed. That, along with new 3-D sismographic software, coupled with a hundred years of logging data, has reduced the risk greatly. I can't see water (desert area) unless I go at least 300 miles from home. "Flying Tadpole" wrote in message ... Yes, except the oil is washed up into the Triassic/JUrassic sandstones by the Great Artesian Basin hot water (!) Most gas stays in the Permian. Disgusting water quality, one of my headaches. Holes crumble in the coal, that's the engineers' problem... Also, COoper Basin is very dispersed--small oil targets, widely spread. I'm running my little leggies off doing the environmental for most of thje smaller companies. And it's mostly in a Park. Not to mention Ramsar treaty wetlands of international importance. At least I see water and can go for a canoe if there's time (not...) No sailable water though. Must visti Burke & Wills graves instead of driving past all the time... jlrogers wrote: I live in the Permian Basin. The oil boom is working everyone here hard. I assume your going through the same?

This is desert too, either sandridge (Strzelecki Desert) or
stony desert (Sturt's Stony Desert) but running through the middle is Cooper's Creek, fed by monsoonal rains in QUeensland and normally ending up in vast floodouts in the middle of the desert (every three-four years) jlrogers wrote: We have less challanging environmental problems.

We have the Pecos River flowing through the basin. Only problem is, the
people between us and the Rocky Mountains use so much of the water that by the time it reaches the basin the river has become a small stream. "Flying Tadpole" wrote in message ...

The cactus, sage, and mesquite would rip it to shreds, if it could move
through the sand. "DSK" wrote in message ... "Flying Tadpole" wrote in message ... Yes, except the oil is washed up into the Triassic/JUrassic sandstones by the Great Artesian Basin hot water (!)
