It’s going to take years to fix the Louisiana sinkhole

“The initial assurances from Texas Brine — that the methane gas coming up through the collapsed cavern which has rendered homes uninhabitable could be drained in a short period of time — have proven to be like the company’s other promises. Completely empty. Officials now concede there is a massive methane deposit that will take years to drain.”

  1. Assumption Parish Police Jury

    1:40 p.m. Update
    Texas Brine has reported to us that their will be a drilling rig set up on Sauce Piquant Rd tomorrow at about 8am to drill and re-grout a CPT hole that was noticed leaking.

    This operation should be completed by the end of the day and will update everyone if plans change.

    I’m actually surprised that there’s anywhere left to drill into, they’ve made that many holes in the ground and the underlying caprock, that it’s a wonder that they’re not walking on water.

  2. About that Study
    ‘Study reveals how dust inside faults may contribute to earthquakes’
    What about faults and what is slickslides rock.

    Definition for Slickenside
    a rock surface with a polished appearance and fine parallel scratches caused by abrasion during fault displacement.
    That fault has two surfaces and they call that type of rock Slickensides surfaces.
    A long a road side cut you can can find a face where that fault is.
    In this picture you can see the face of the fault line
