Big Oil and Gas 24: 2024 11 23 Profiles of Courage - Mike Lucius (Driller)

Big Oil and Gas 24

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"?

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 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 11 23 Profiles of Courage - Mike Lucius (Driller)

This morning, Saturday, November 23, 2024, at 6:00 am MST, we are drilling at 14,080’ at an average P rate of 20 fps. We are just making a hole now! We anticipate hitting the Shannon 2 sand at 14,538’. On the Green Mountain Federal #4, that was the depth where we took that first big gas kick. This time, we have an adequate mud weight (13.2 ppg) to control the anticipated abnormal pressure.

Today’s video features Mr. Michael Lucius (Driller). Michael has been on drilling rigs for over 20 years and drilled all over the world. He has been working with Earl and many of the current hand on Rig 88 for the past 15 years. Each crew has a Driller, Assistant Driller, Derrick Hand, Motor Man, and two Floor Hands. He is one of us. All the hands you see on the rig with LSOG hard hats are part of the LSOG family – employees of LSOG. Drillers are the guys who actually run and operate the rig. They have 4 or 5 other “hands” or crew that report to him. He is responsible for “getting things done” around the rig in a safe and efficient manner. Drillers work closely with the Directional Driller to ensure the bit is drilling in the desired trajectory at maximum P rates. They are also responsible for taking charge and directing all repairs on the rig when something goes down. They carry a lot of responsibility!

Enjoy!
