WYO FRACKING

An oil drilling rig breaks the evening skyline of the Great Plains near Douglas, Wyo., Thursday, November 22, 2013. The state will require pre-drilling testing of groundwater at sites where hydraulic fracturing, also known as "fracking" is used. (Kevin Moloney for the New York Times)

EDS: there is no way for me to determine if this well is or will be "fracked." The fracking equipment I have photographed before is a semi-trailer setup brought in after the initial drill, This is simply a drilling rig.
