[Green] Deep Rock Next Steps

Tue Nov 10 14:20:11 CST 2020

Great work, Cindy! In addition, this link
https://www.wellwiki.org/wiki/REDBIRD_DEVELOPMENT_LLC#Operator_Details
provides more details about Redbird Development and a phone number. This
source also lists another injection well for Redbird Development. It might
also be interesting to know if the breach of their #4 well was due to
overtopping at the surface or to a leak in the casing below the surface.
