Heaters are kicking on across the Four Corners, so here's a quick refresher from the folks who work with natural gas every day. πŸ”₯

The natural gas that reaches your home has no smell on its own. An odorant is added so a leak smells like rotten eggs, on purpose, so you'll notice it.

If you smell it:
πŸšͺ Get everyone out right away, pets too
πŸ“΅ Don't flip switches, light anything, or use your phone inside
πŸ“ž Once you're outside and away from the house, call 911 and your gas company

One more thing for anyone who hunts, hikes or drives lease roads: gas in field lines near wellsites isn't always odorized. Out there, a hissing or blowing sound is your warning. Leave the area and call it in.

Built in the Basin | Episode 12

The San Juan Basin led the way.

According to a U.S. Geological Survey article in the Sept. 24, 2001 Oil and Gas Journal, the Basin had historically been the most productive coalbed methane basin, with two-thirds of the known reserves and 80 percent of the production. Second place, the Warrior Basin in Alabama, had 8 percent of reserves and 9 percent of output. Other countries started studying what was happening here.

So what did Tom Dugan think came next? From the book:

"There will be gas production from the San Juan Basin for the next 100 years and there is always the possibility that the elusive 'big oil pool' will finally be discovered in a deeper horizon. This could bring on the Sixth Boom and perhaps start the boom cycle all over again."

And right after it, a note from Tom's co-author, Emery Arnold Jr. He was a Farmington-born geologist who spent 25 years as district supervisor for the state's Oil & Gas Conservation Commission in Aztec and later served as New Mexico's State Geologist:

"(Emery Arnold says people should be advised that Dugan has sometimes been known to make highly speculative predictions.)" πŸ˜„

More than two decades later, the Basin is still producing.

What do you think the Basin looks like 20 years from now? πŸ‘‡

From the Collection πŸͺ¨ Quartz with Hematite

That black, bladed mineral looks like it should leave a black mark. It doesn't. Scratch hematite across unglazed porcelain and it leaves a rust-red streak. That's how it got its name, from the ancient Greek for "blood stone."

Hematite is iron oxide, one of the world's most important iron ores. Here it grows in dark, bladed rosettes, with clear quartz crystals shooting straight out of it. Look close and you'll see some of the quartz carries a red tint from iron, too.

This piece comes from Jinlong Hill in Guangdong Province, China, a locality collectors know for exactly this combination. Pieces from there are often damaged, because those long quartz points break easily.

It's on display in the Dugan office.

Have you ever found a crystal out here in the Four Corners? Tell us where (roughly, we won't make you give up your spot) πŸ‘‡

Built in the Basin | Episode 11

Between 1997 and 2001, the names on the San Juan Basin's lease signs changed fast.

Burlington Resources sold a big package of wells and acreage to Ta**us Exploration, which became Energen Resources. Cross Timbers Exploration, which became XTO Energy, bought a large package from Amoco. Bayless Oil and Gas sold a package of in-town wells to Calpine. Key Energy bought rigs and equipment from Four Corners Drilling and Coleman Oil and Gas.

Then the giants started merging. Exxon and Mobil. Chevron and Texaco. Phillips and Conoco. BP combined with Amoco, then with ARCO.

As the book put it: "Amoco and ARCO, long time prominent names in the industry, are no more!"

Devon Energy bought its way toward the top of the independents, and the book gives the Basin some of the credit: "It's amazing what a few Fruitland coalbed methane wells can do for a company!"

Through all of it, Dugan Production stayed Dugan Production.

Built in the Basin | Episode 10

By 1990, the hardest part of the Fourth Boom wasn't drilling the wells β€” it was catching what came out of them. Fruitland coalbed methane was flowing out of the ground faster than anyone in the Basin had capacity to move it.

Northwest Pipeline raced to build a new gathering and treating system just to keep up. They designed it in modules β€” compression units, dehydrators, "trains" of treaters β€” so capacity could be added as fast as the gas showed up. A new treating plant near Bloomfield had actually been sitting in storage in Texas. It had to be disassembled, hauled to New Mexico, and rebuilt fast enough to meet deadlines already locked into producer contracts.

Everyone involved agreed it would take a miracle to pull off. So that's exactly what they named the plant: Milagro. Spanish for "miracle."

By late 1990, gas was flowing through it. Within a year they'd nearly doubled its capacity β€” and were still racing to keep ahead of the boom.

That's the kind of pressure the whole Basin was operating under during those years β€” and it's the world Dugan Production was drilling into.
