Rehctub, you mention raising the pump.
Are you talking about oil or gas ?
I did not think they had to pump the gas.

Anyway, I believe it should not be exported. We will live to regret it.
I am surprised that a csg well could go for thirty years.
I imagine it would have to draw gas in from a very large area.
I believe they do not use fracking in csg because it is already fractured.

Baz, the pump is used to draw up the water and the gas follows.

As for the life span, it's only what I have heard.

As for export, I am 100% behind you there, in my view, it has the potential to proved our energy for as long as we need.

however, because we have lost so much industry, and have exported so much of our raw products over the years, where we could have value added instead, we are now so reliant on mining exports, that our world will literally collapse when we either run our of supply, or the demand stops, which ever comes first.

A comforting thought, hey!

As for fraking, some companies do, while others don't.
