Re: RnR Oil Field Thread of Asskicking
Photos 2&5 are service rigs. Basically they service wells. They can pull casing and replace it. They can swab a rig. They also be fed with wireline cable that are hooked to charges or to feed into charges set in target formations. Pulling casing and replace is so certain functions can be done. You use different casing to Frac, to flow, to swab, to pump and to wireline. Swabbing is when a well has been Frac'd or serviced and knowing the amount of fluid pumped into the ground that more return is needed to be seen. So they run cable into the ground with these iron spiked swabs. You stack them three up and have target tag and pull. Where you tag where your swab hit fluid and where you pulled it out the hole depth wise. Basically it's a industrial plunger you feed into the earth and rip up to try and use suction to flow the well. It also helps if a Frac ball or some plug is restricting flow from the well. Wire lining is using special cable that can transmit a signal. It can also be done with coil tubing rigs. They set port or zone explosives. Some tiny or some rather big. They blow the charges and using the wires they make readings on density of the formations they are in. Somewhat like a ultra sound. They can also blow open a clogged port or shape a zone better. When we run that in we have about a hour of signal free zone as any radio or cel phone technically can surface blow the charges. Very very sensitive receptors are in the wireline truck just off the rig and they read and then transmit readings to head office. Basically the service rig was really big back in the day but becoming obsolete. You have swab rigs that are much easier to transport, coil tubing that are more multi task, wirelines can work with any. Where the service rig is a smaller drilling rig and quite extensive to set up using only ever a 5 or 6 man crew, even to rig in and out. |

Re: RnR Oil Field Thread of Asskicking
The same pic is the pumper trucks for Fracing The one on the right is a 1500 HP diesel granular pumper truck. Capable of pushing about a 1000kg of sand in 20-30 minutes at a max rate of 6500psi although many pipe joints are not rated that high. It has a blender in it to mix the sand to ensure a even flow of it into the pump. The one on the left is 1200 HP fluid pumper. It is used to pump fluid at 5000 psi and can max 15m3 in ten minutes. It also is used to pump acid into the well, and sometimes nitrogen or propane in liquid form. |

Re: RnR Oil Field Thread of Asskicking
Thanks and again their is a reason we are all arrogant bastards. One our job regards of the specialty your in is hard and dangerous. There is no coddling your feelings or room for whining or laziness. Two we get paid a shitload. The reason why I and a lot of those I know work oil cause its a great career if you can hack it. You will achieve what you want, have a nice vehicle and buy any you you could dream of. Three and the most important one. We push the engineering capability of humanity to its very threshold. If it wasnt for oil extraction or services we would not have the knowledge we do in pressure pumps, bearing load, fluid and volume control. We take machinery to its very limit and do things that may sound simple but in laws of physics and chemistry...are hard as hell and again are the most elite operations humans can perform. Every oil field worker knows this...we know we do a job for the most part no female can do...sorry ladies..and in fact most men can't do. If you can't throw a hundred and twenty pounds from ground up to your shoulder you need go work somewhere else. |

Re: RnR Oil Field Thread of Asskicking
I didn't study shit brother. That is another reason it is filled with a hard ass attitude. Is because its a industry that requires no education to enter. Now don't get me wrong man I have had to get numerous tickets and course completions. First line ticket Second line ticket H2s alive First Aid III instructor Rural off road driving TDG Wellhead pressure ticket Whimis HACCP identification and solution B pressure isolation ticket Oil emergency response As well as about 15 others. Plus I have to get certified by each company I work for. I worked off shore, reclaims, rig anchoring, lease construction. Off-Shore taught me mostly what I needed to know. The first and second line are week long courses that many people fail several times. I also have weekly notification reports and update reports I have to review to see if any updated safety or procedure guides have changed. Their are guys that got right to being a consultant by taking petroleum engineering degree at NAIT(north Albertan institute of technology) Myself I know the right people really. I grew up with basically the first family of oil workers in Alberta. They love me and I am essentially a adoptive son. I had to wait to get as old as I am to even warrant a shot. My boss is a co-owner of one of the largest drilling companies here, and told me when he was a consultant and I worked as a Derrick off shore that when I got a little older he would hire me cause I take no shit. He came through on his world and laid about 15000 and myself I paid 10000 to get all the tickets and requirements to do my job. The oil consultant sits in his trailer all day. He is the secretary to his company on site. I run the trades and ensure they get the job done and more so I focus on the Wellhead and it's behavior itself. That is my boss...that hunk of iron cylinders. I basically deal with anywhere between 2-8 different trades and companies on a specific lease, and convey what we want and ensure it gets done informing the oil consultant what is happening, problems and solutions, and overview pressure testing, well flow, well flow back pressure, casing pressure monitoring, tubing pressure monitoring, and the tallying of what goes in and out. I also am liable for safety and for environmental damage control. If someone gets hurt by complacent safety procedure or we spew contaminants all over I can go to jail or receive a hefty fine. I too have a trailer...I just don't sit in it as much as the fucking energy consultant does but he gets paid about 500 more for his day rate. His job is push paper and review. Mine is be a complete fucking asshole and stay on top of all job details throughout. I also monitor inline feeds, operator shack construction and a number of other jobs if asked to. That is why I work sometimes days on end without leaving. That is precisely why I got my job because I am always on top of what the fuck is going on. I also hire the companies, file job completion tickets(bills basically). I also test the oils for sentiments, % of water contained, level of airborne toxins, the shipping of fluid to tanks, the removal of said fluid, the removal or ordering of those tanks, the overview of every safety meeting pre shift. I take random oil samples and air canister samples and ship them to a petroleum study lab. My job you have to be organized and a semi decent memory. If you don't I can blown into about a thousand pieces over ten miles. |

Some more with descriptions to come! This should be good enough for now I figure!  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  · |

Re: RnR Oil Field Thread of Asskicking
1st pic Is a hot oil water injection unit! It can take 2-3 degree celcius water and heat it to 35 degress in about 20-30 second while flowing 3 m^3 of water though it's pumps a minute. When flowing water into formations under a certain depth the water has to be heated to a certain level. As well you want hot water down there because when we are Frac'ing in cold weather you don't want to freeze and in turn crack the well casing nor do you want the water to be able to freeze and clog a port as it is coming up. To use Nitrogen to freeze ground formations is one thing but water is a whole different story. It is usually on site for most Frac jobs from September to May. Even if just to heat the circulating fluid for pressure tests or before or mostly after you swap out well casing. Nifty little units though as they use 75-90 degree oil to flow through tubular piping within the water pipes and then pump it out to the fluid pump trucks. 2nd pic... If you got to the top and the bottom pic is what this lease looked like about 2 hours before it looked like this picture. From 2 pump trucks and myself and the other consultant, Our two trailers and a well testing P-Tank.....to over 80 people and about 200 million dollars worth of equipment squeezed in any way possible. |
