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.

 This morning, Friday, November 1, 2024, 6:00 am MST, we are still washing and reaming our way back in the hole with a new bit and BHA (“Bottom Hole Assembly”). 10,785’ TD. We did not make any hole again yesterday due to the bit trip. While TIH, we tagged fill in the hole and started to wash and ream our way back to bottom. The hole had started to sluff in on us causing these conditions. The hole is becoming more stable as we increase the mud weight. We are currently washing and reaming @ 10,635’, almost back to TD at 10,785’. The hole is stable and in much better condition than previously anticipated. Plans are to: (1.) circulate the mud system, raising the mud weight to an even 10.4 ppg all around, both in the hole and in the pits, (2.) POOH, (3.) replace standpipe and related equipment increasing the working pressure on the mud system from 5,000 psi to 7,500 psi. With the increased mud weight and depths, being restricted to 5,000 psi working pressure is causing lower P rates. When we get back to bottom with the new bit and BHA, P Rates should be substantially higher. The estimated intermediate casing depth is 12,800’. The last couple of days is a perfect example of the previously mentioned oilfield saying, “Let the hole tell you what to do”. This was the hole telling us “You better raise the mud weight or I’m going to fall in on you!!”. The hole is stabilized now……..
 Today’s video features Mr. John Kennedy, one of the Rig Managers for Rig 88. Mr. Kennedy has been in the oilfield for over 25 years and has an extensive family history. He has been with Earl Sanford for most of those 25 years both in the domestic United States and internationally. There are four Rig Managers for Rig 88. Two Rig Managers are always on the rig working 12-hour shifts. Two are always on days off. During their respective tour, Rig Managers are responsible for all rig personnel, rig functionality, maintenance, and repairs. A big job, indeed! They spend most of their time talking and conferring with all rig personnel to ensure safe, efficient operations. A big job, indeed! In the video, you can see John conferring with Cody Davis, one of the previously interviewed Drillers. They are closely watching and monitoring the drilling parameters in the doghouse on the floor to maximize P rates. The level of technologies available nowadays to drilling personnel is truly amazing. Watch the screen closely towards the end of the video.
