johnshasteen is on a distinguished road
I'm weighing in way-late on this issue, but I live out on Eagle Mountain Lake in far-far NW Fort Worth. Eagle Mountain sits on top of the Barnnet Shale (as does most of North Texas - stretching across four five counties) and the O&G companies are working the field everywhere from near downtown Fort Worth out to rural areas.
I'll bet you can't guess the biggest concern of all the folks sitting on top of the shale - - give up? - it's how much are they going to pay us!!!! Not, OMG, my world might come to an end if they drill near or under my house.
