Ray Tillerson CEO of Exxon Mobil has tried to stop a water tower next to his 90 acre horse ranch in Denton county because he does not want the truck traffic and noise NIMBY caused by Fracking water truck. The tower was going up because of the need for Frack water truck filling point.

Exxonon Mobil also has real Estatet diversification with million dollar mansion in South Lake TX called Timbarron. City permitteded 3 frack pads and 2 pads were put down before Exxonon Mobil stopped them because they did not want a water pipeline and gas/oil pipe line laid NIMBY so oil could get from pads to main gas line. It would have been about 2 mile of pipeline in front of their developmentnt. Tillerson used to live here with a bunch of EMobil top admin. Lot of residence are Oil Gas industry wheels.

The driller move over to next town and there was a fit about all Fracking noise etc. They drilled 7 wells on one pad, Frack some of them and capped them off. They could not get enough water to frack (in heavy residence area) and they do not have a permit to lay pipeline for gas and oil. To many people protesting pipeline NIMBY. So the site is Chain linked and Locke up best I know.
They are going to have to grease some big wheel to get this over if ever
