Hi there. I don't believe I'll be posting any more, seeing how this whole fiasco is wrapping up, at least the visible portions. I have been, and will continue to follow, the studies concerning microbi...

Sniff testing the pressure test....... 20 Aug 2010 | 06:58 pm

    Pressure testing...? Seriously, how can shutting the well in determine where any leaks are ? Why blur the lines with changing definitions..? .pressure testing, integrity testing, same difference. ...
