Fracking is back at Colleyville natural gas wells

Fort Worth-based natural gas company Titan Operating drilled seven wells off Pleasant Run Road in 2011. Drilling began on the first well in March of that year.

Atlas officials were before the council because it and Titan merged in July 2012, and city approval is required for a change of ownership and name on a special use permit. The council unanimously approved the change.

The drilling and a proposed route for a natural gas pipeline were approved in 2010 under the permit, but a final pipeline route was not approved.

Mark Shumacher, executive vice president at Atlas, told the council the company is in discussions with Texas Midstream Gas Services, formerly a subsidiary of Chesapeake Energy, about the pipeline route.

He said Atlas likely will come to the council with drawings in April or May for a route that goes south along Davis Boulevard.
