Big Oil and Gas 24: 2024 10 20 Profiles of Courage

Big Oil

When looking at the future of the oil and gas industry, it is important to understand the term "pollutant" as it relates to carbon dioxide (CO2). CO2 is often labeled as a "greenhouse gas," but this can be misleading without proper context. CO2 is crucial for Earth's ecosystems; it is necessary for photosynthesis, the process by which plants turn carbon dioxide into oxygen. This process supports plant life, which in turn supports animal life, including humans. Can you say, "Essential Nutrient"? | Thus, describing CO2 simply as a pollutant overlooks its fundamental contributions to life on Earth. As we engage in discussions about environmental policies and regulations, particularly in regions like California, it is imperative to present these facts to government officials and policymakers. An informed dialogue that recognizes the importance of CO2 can lead to a more balanced understanding of its role in both natural processes and the broader context of climate science. Advocating for a nuanced perspective on CO2 is essential to avoid oversimplification and to promote responsible energy practices that ensure both environmental sustainability and economic viability.

2024 10 20 Profiles of Courage

Hello Everyone!

This morning, Sunday, October 20, 2024, 6:00 am MST, we are drilling at 7,500’ TD. We made 455‘ averaging 25 fph (8 fph min, 50 fph max). Prates were lower than yesterday due it being necessary to adjust directional drilling parameters to maintain the desired angle and direction. We are maintaining the desired trajectory at a 12-degree angle with a 319-degree azimuth.

Today’s video will focus on Mr. Mike Seidensticker, our main mudlogger on location. It is really Dr. Mike Seidensticker, PhD. Dr. Mike earned his doctorate degree from Rice University in Houston, Texas. After a short stint in academia, Dr. Mike found his true calling in evaluating drill cuttings from oil and gas exploration wells. Here at LSOG, we are very grateful to have someone with his expertise on location evaluating the geology beneath us. We will have additional videos in the future with Dr. Mike explaining more in detail about the mudlogging process and procedures.

In future videos, I will also be including earlier videos with informative insights and views of the Wild Mustang Federal Unit. This particular video was recorded by Mr. Nate Wixom, an executive within International Petroleum. The video will give you a good feel for the lay of the land.

Enjoy!!
