Fracking Tommy Lakes

In the heart of Tommy Lakes, a breathtaking spectacle unfolds. The video captures a flare stack, its flames shooting defiantly, reaching a staggering 100 feet into the cold winter sky. The intense heat radiating from it contrasts starkly with the surrounding snowscape, causing the snow at its base to melt, creating an otherworldly fusion of fire and water.

As the lens sweeps counterclockwise, a complex ballet of industry is revealed. First, the intricate maze of fracking equipment, their silhouettes standing stark against the icy backdrop. The skid shacks, essential components of the operation, are a testament to human ingenuity in the face of nature's challenges.

The centerpiece of this choreography is the C-Ring, nearly brimming with flow-back fluid. The powerful sight of high-volume and high-pressure returns, with the glistening hint of oil, is juxtaposed as it forcefully blasts into the C-Ring, displaying the raw power of extraction.

Continuing its counterclockwise journey, the video showcases a truck tanker diligently loading from the very same C-Ring, a testament to the relentless cycle of the industry, even in the harshest of winters. The juxtaposition of the red-hot flare stack and the frosty environment encapsulates the balance between man, machine, and nature in this mesmerizing dance at Tommy Lakes.
