When considering the future of the oil and gas industry beyond 2024, it is crucial to address the often-misguided use of the term "pollutant" in reference to carbon dioxide (CO2). While CO2 is frequently categorized as a "greenhouse gas," this label can be misleading without proper context. CO2 plays a vital role in the Earth's ecosystems; it is essential for the process of photosynthesis, where plants convert carbon dioxide into oxygen, thereby sustaining plant life and, by extension, animal life, including humans. Moreover, CO2 is a natural byproduct of Moreover, CO2 is a natural byproduct of respiration in mammals. Every time we exhale, we release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, underscoring its inherent role in the respiratory cycle. 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.

2025 10 25 Profiles of Courage - Colten Wilson MWD

2025 10 25 Profiles of Courage - Colten Wilson MWD

 Oct 25, 2024

This morning, Friday, October 25, 2024, 6:00 am MST, we are drilling at 9,877’ TD, 25 fph. We made 400‘, averaging 17 fph (2 fph min, 30 fph max). P rates decreased from yesterday. We had a change in rock type and/or geology that caused the bit to start dropping angle. Corrective measures decrease our P rate and slow us down. Still, have to fight Green Mountain to maintain the desired trajectory.
 
Today’s video focuses on one of the Measurement While Drilling (“MWD”) Technicians, Mr. Colten Wilson actually works in the same trailer as yesterday's video interviewee Directional Driller Jeremy Cunningham with APS Technologies.


Colten’s downhole tools record and transmit downhole drilling data from the bit to the surface. This data is then relayed to Jeremy who makes a decision on what parameters to adjust to maintain the desired bit trajectory. Colten describes these tools and their function in detail in the video. This data is transmitted up the mud column inside the drill pipe using a series of positive and negative mud pulses. These mud pressure pulses are converted into 1’s and 0’s, a form of binary computer language that computers can decode at the surface. Messages in letters and numbers are converted to 1’s and 0’s and sent in one long data chain as shown below. Interesting stuff!! See the images below.
