ICE Raid in ExxonMobil Kelsey Field

ICE raided the Kelsey Unit looking for some stolen equiment that had some kind of GPS tracker installed. On Mr. Marshall's ranch, one of the agents noticed a bright colored scrap of a seat belt in the dirt next to an Exxon work site. He went to look closer. Low and behold...  it was 1400 pounds of buried marijuana bales that had seat belts on each one for use as a back pack. (by slave child immigrant labor no doubt) Exxon needs to mow that La Copita pipeline and mark it because I doubt that these people who bury dead bodies and marijuana on Exxon's leases bother to do the "DIGTESS."
ExxonMobil has been notified by me and Border Patrol numerous times about people storing large quantities of drugs in the Kelsey Field. ICE asked us to put a gate at the entrance of the ranch. The road into the Marshall cuts thru the McGill and is not a public road and has never been a public road. This is the response we got from ExxonMobil's lawyers when we tried to install a gate to the ranch. This is the ranch entrance that is used to transport human and drug cargo.

This "war on drugs" is really really stupid. Nothing is accomplished besides making  ExxonMobil's leases more dangerous. I wish the feds would quit spending all this tax payer money on border agents and go do something useful. The oilfields are not the place to address the problem. Only ExxonMobil can control traffic on their properties because only ExxonMobil knows who the contractors are. ExxonMobil does not and will never have security on their properties. ExxonMobil doesn't even know who the contractors are because they are subbed out. ExxonMobil has the majority of the land in along the South Texas border held in old leases from the 1930s.
Attorney Pilar Gravitt went to district court in July of 2008 and got an injunction that prevents landowners from stopping any oilfield contractors or sub contractors from entering the Kelsey. At Pilar Gravitt's request, the court ruled that the identity of the contractors and subcontractors was a confidential trade secret belonging to Exxon and the JV partners. So, its up to ExxonMobil to deal with the problem. And, that is just never going to happen.
Meanwhile, on the King Ranch, Exxon's new JV partners set up surveillance and busted a major natural gas condensate theft ring using salt water trucks.
