Big Oil and Gas 24: Pulling a Wet String of Drill Pipe - Duane Winkler

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 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.

Pulling a Wet String of Drill Pipe - Duane Winkler

Hello Everyone!

Today is Saturday, November 30, 2024, 6:00 am MST. At report time, we still have 800’ to finish POOH, preparing to rig up Schlumberger and run open hole logs.
TD (“Total Depth”) is 15,712’ MD.
We circulated and conditioned the mud system for 8 hours yesterday, preparing the hole for logs, then had 6 hours early this morning repairing an electrical connection on the top drive.
Should be rigging up loggers later this morning.

Current plans are:
Finish POOH and run open hole logs.
TIH with drill pipe
Circulate and condition mud to run 4½” casing.
POOH LDDP (“Pull Out Of Hole Lay Down Drill Pipeline")
Run 4½” production casing
Cement
RDMO Rig 88

Should be logging sometime later this afternoon.

Today’s video features Mr. Duane Winkler, Wellsite Supervisor for LSOG.
During the past week or so, we have had to POOH with several “wet strings” requiring the use of a mud bucket or other mud-diverting devices.
In the video, Duane explains some of the details of pulling a wet string and how you mitigate the effects.
POOH with a wet string is no fun and can sometimes get a little messy as evidenced by the attached pictures.
Those are LSOG hardhats the guys are wearing. Underneath the mud on those hardhats are LSOG logos!

Also attached is another picture of Rosie, the rig dog, as she watches and observes the top drive and elevators descend from the derrick during a recent bit trip.
