Dooley.

Hello Fintan
I would be curious about a Zoom conversation at some point if you have the time? I am very interested in the issues you are working on and how we can look at that geography better. I am especially interested in the issues around salt contamination that I am assuming is a reference to the tremendous amount of brine being produced, transported, and disposed of across North Dakota as we have similar issues here in Central Appalachia.

Sincerely
Ted Auch at FracTracker, auch@fractracker.org

PS You might find this on North Dakota well plugging costs interesting especially the part about some wells costing upwards of $250-525K to plug https://www.fractracker.org/a5ej20sjfwe/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/North-Dakota_2020.12.15_201215-final.pdf
