Got a question on fracking, when this is done does it make a loud boom? There have been a bunch of gas wells going up in my area, and all day I hear this booming sound. Not sure if this is what it is, or something else.
I'm not sure about the fracking as I've never been on site for fracking, but if they are doing seismic surveys looking for oil and gas pockets they use dynamite and that definitely makes a boom.
They are doing some seismic surveys in the area, but I think they are using the shaker trucks. They did that on my place a while back, but I don't remember them making that kind of racket. I remember back when I was a kid seeing them do surveys with charges, so maybe someone is using that method. It's been going constant more than a week now.
No there is nothing that in the fracing process im aware of that makes a loud boom. At least not on any of the wells we are fracing in NW Oklahoma.
grew up on deep well locations, never heard a frac process that had a boom.
Wonder if it's a propane cannon?
Some of the folks that have pecan orchards, or crops that are being invaded by blackbirds us these to keep them away. They can be very loud.

Could be, it's been going on for the last week, maybe longer. Was just curious what the heck it is.
A little off topic, but I heard recently that Yoko Ono has come out against fracking (guess I missed her geological credentials) and her son, Sean Lennon, has performed a song in defense of Mother Earth, "Don't Frack My Mom." You can't make this stuff up.
No booming from fracking--the crow gun Dennis mentioned is your best bet. Seismograph crews havn't used explosives (that I know of) in quite a while either. And for my fellow older folks, jug hustlers no longer have to carry and string all that wire.
