Mar. 17, 2011 - Weatherford, Texas, USA - 3/17/2011. Parker County Judge MARK RILEY in front of the Weatherford courthouse where his office is located in the town square. He has acted as an arbitrator between disgruntled home owners and drilling companies in the Weatherford, Texas area to help the two sides come to amicable conclusions in drilling disputes even though he has no jurisdiction in the cases. Horizontal well drilling technology developments has brought natural gas drilling in the Barnett Shale geological formation of North Texas into urbanized areas developing new problems between landowners and the drilling companies. Air quality standards have been found to be below federal standards in close proximity of some of these wells with high benzine and other chemical readings as well as ground water contamination.
