I am wondering if this could be true or if anyone finds this believable or not. I appreciate those who can take time to read the article and comment. Many photos, and documentation from sources which seem to be reputable. Here is a very short synopsis of the idea.
The water in underground aquifers has been heavily pumped by irrigation farmers which has lowered the water levels by 100 feet, and as a result created a partial vacuum in the aquifers. The aquifers lie beneath the H-P Natural Gas Reserve. The vacuum from the removed water consequently sucks all the "replacement" water the energy companies have been pumping into America's natural gas reserve for the purpose of extracting gas, downward, to fill the void in the aquifer. As a result, a partial vacuum is then created in our natural gas reserves, which in turn draws air (oxygen) into the reserves from the surface of the earth, mostly through vent pipes created in the drilling process, effectively converting our gas reserves into an extremely volatile bomb made of natural gas and oxygen.
the law of gravity has been constantly pulling the replacement water they had previously filled that part of the gas chamber with into our water acquifers, which are located well below the gas chambers, leaving the partial vacuum that remains loaded with lower levels of natural gas.
With nothing else to fill the void created by the reduced water level in the reserves, the resulting vacuum sucks air (oxygen) into these huge chambers from the surface of the earth; mostly through vent pipes left from the original drilling operation
Once the oxygen to gas ratio reaches fourteen percent, the "mix" in this part of the reserve becomes volatile, and subject to exploding if and when it is ever ignited. A mix of twenty one percent oxygen to gas ratio causes that particular gas chamber to become a genuine fully loaded bomb, just waiting to be ignited.
At a point just thirty miles north of Pantex, where America stores its larger nuclear weapons, the H-P Reserve is less than fifty feet below the surface of the earth; and subject to being breached by just anything falling from the sky, such as an airplane, a meteorite, or a bomb.
If that should ever take place, the entire North American Continent would be subject to a series of explosions and fires, until it literally ceases to exist, because the entire N. American Continent is literally perched on top of the H-P Reserve. So, after the explosions, those parts that are made of heavily oil laden shale rock would simply burn until there is nothing left. Which means the dirt itself would burn.
