4th generation Texas oilfield. 100+ countries over the past 30 years. My life as an international well control specialist.
Zombie wells tour with journalists today. Chevron allegedly plugged this one in the 1980s. #cvxblowout
Took less than 24 hours to confirm I can still get under Chevron’s skin by simply sharing the truth. #cvxblowout

The facts speak for themselves.
Texas needs 25 years of hands-on engineering competence on the Railroad Commission, not another political insider.
It’s weird. He only talks smack to women. I show up and he pulls a George Jones.
If you're wondering about the fight between the Railroad Commission and Texas Lege, the @houstonchron has an op-ed from @HawkDunlap about how the RRC recently stifled public comment.

Response from @ChristianForTX:
"This is an attack on democracy. Chairman Darby’s answer to a minor adjustment to the public-input process is to threaten the ultimate form of public input: Texans’ right to elect their Railroad Commissioners."
Guess he heard I was sitting in the Captiol waiting on him.
New: @ChristianForTX tells House Energy Resources chair @DrewDarbyTX he will not attend today’s interim that includes agency oversight. #txlege
“I also cannot ignore the political circumstances surrounding today’s hearing. A member of your committee is currently a candidate for RRC.”
Reminder - the railroad commission regulates oil and gas. Don’t let them distract you from the real issues. Like this mystery sludge leaking into the Pecos River in Ward County.
The Railroad Commission’s new public comment policy is “At the discretion of the Commission.” How has that worked out for groundwater conservation districts so far?
Opinion | Yes, they’re elected officials. And no, they don’t care what ordinary people have to say. houstonchronicle.com/opinion…
This can be sorted via mutual combat out behind the frac tanks. Between stages, of course. I got $100 on @DrewDarbyTX.
New: @DrewDarbyTX sent this letter to @ChristianForTX, the RRC today about its vote to nix the standalone public comment section of the agenda at future open meetings.
Adds that he will discuss it at the 9/15 Energy Resources meeting and “expects [Christian] to address it on the record.”
I think the cheese is slipping off the old man's cracker. He's forgotten who he works for. I look forward to his answers on September 15. See you in Austin. #txlege
Did the RRC cancel public input or just modernize rules to align with the way things are done at the Texas Legislature and other agencies?
There’s been a lot of misinformation, so let’s set the record straight. #txlege 1/5
