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, Wednesday, November 6, 2024, 6:00 am MST, we are drilling at 11,544’ TD. We made 307’ averaging 14 fph. P rates range from 8 fph to 30 fph. P rates are down due to one of the three big electric generators being down. I have not heard from Earl with an estimated time for repairs. Reduced electrical power means reduced pump rates which means reduced performance from the directional tools downhole. You can see these generators in today’s video featuring Mike Brantley, the Motorman, who keeps a close eye on the performance metrics for all engines on the Rig 88. These electric generators deliver 750 kVA each and are powered by 1,700 HP diesel engines. The average house today requires 150 to 200 kVA.  The estimated 7” OD intermediate casing depth is 12,800’. We should be at that depth, ready to log, by this coming Sunday, 11/10/2024. Weather has been cooperating with us, just been cold…….12⁰ to 15⁰F with 25 mph winds.




 

Today’s video features Mr. Mike Brantley, Motorman. On each crew, there is a Driller, Assistant Driller, Derrick Hand, Motor Man, and two Floor Hands. As a Motorman, they are responsible for the maintenance and repairs of all the engines on the rig (…..and anything else that might go down and need to be repaired…..).  They are usually the ones who have worked around big engines for most of their career and understand how they work. Mike is always there, ready to jump in and lend a helping hand wherever needed! Thank you, Mike, for all your hard work and dedication!

 

Y’all have a blessed day!
