DRILLING ALERTS
French fracking giant Total Energies and other companies are aggressively expanding fracking throughout Arlington. This is despite an already high concentration of drilling in the county, despite strong community opposition in Arlington, and alarming health statistics like childhood asthma rates well above the national average.
What's happening now?
Current drilling activities are posted on the City of Arlington's website. This includes workover rigs at existing sites.
PERMIT APPLICATIONS
MAP OF NEW GAS WELL PERMITS IN TARRANT COUNTY
The mapping tool below created by the Fractracker Alliance shows drill sites where fracking companies have applied to the Texas Railroad Commission for permits to drill new gas wells in Arlington and in Tarrant County since 2022. New gas well permit sites are red and orange diamonds surrounded by 600 ft and 1/2 mile circles.
The map includes the locations of existing gas wells, schools, day cares, and hospitals, and shows air quality data from air monitors in Arlington. You can find demographic, economic, and racial and ethnic data for neighborhoods surrounding drill sites and all of Tarrant County by clicking on the appropriate selection from the menu on the left.
