Fracking Sites
Four combustors make up a four well pad on Watkins Road just south of East Jewell Avenue. Combustors burn off the gas that flows back after fracking and burn cleaner than an open flare. State officials are tugged between oil industry interests — trying to make extraction easier and cheaper, especially in light of a recent drop in crude oil prices — and residents backed by local governments that want more control and oversight to keep rigs as far away from homes as possible.
