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.

2024 11 07 Profiles of Courage - Tristan Robinson (Driller)

 This morning, Thursday, November 7, 2024, 6:00 am MST, we are circulating bottoms up at 11,830’ TD preparing to POOH for a new bit. We made 286’ averaging 12 fph. P rates were down from yesterday and it was becoming more difficult to maintain the desired angle and azimuth (i.e. the bit has significant wear and needs to be changed out). The cutters become worn, broken, or chipped causing lower P rates. Excessive wear can also be caused by the increased angle of the hole, such as we have in this well (10⁰ to 12⁰).



It should take approximately 12 hours to trip for the bit. The estimated 7” OD intermediate casing depth is 12,800’. We should be at that depth, ready to log, by this coming Monday, 11/11/2024. The weather has been cooperating with us; it has just been cold…….12⁰ to 15⁰F with 25 mph winds.




 

Today’s video features Mr. Tristan Robinson, Driller, and his dog “Rosie”. Tristan has been on drilling rigs for over 20 years and drilled all over the world and offshore. On each crew, there is 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 safely and efficiently. 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 any and all repairs on the rig when something goes down. They carry a lot of responsibility! In addition to “Diesel”, the first rig mascot shown in earlier videos, we have Tristan’s dog “Rosie”. I thought she was a “bird dog”. I was corrected. Tristan said she is a “bear and mountain lion” dog! They do things a little differently in these parts! Quite impressive!

 

Today, have also attached a still picture entitled “The Lone Tree”. Jacek went walking around yesterday and took this picture. Great pic, Jacek!

 

Y’all have a blessed day!

 

Enjoy!
