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 12 07 Rotary Sidewall Coring (Part 1)

2024 12 07 Rotary Sidewall Coring (Part 1)

Good Morning Everyone!

Today is Saturday, December 7, 2024, 6:00 am MST. At report time, we are running in the hole with 4½” OD production casing.
Bottom of the casing shoe is currently at 2,126’.

Yesterday, on bottom at 15,712’ MD, we circulated and conditioned mud, then spent the rest of the day (and night) POOH LDDP (“Pull Out Of Hole   Lay Down Drill Pipeline").
It took 20 hours to POOH laying down 3.0 miles of drill pipe, 30’ at a time.
Today, will spend most of the day (and night) running casing and circulating/conditioning mud at staged intervals.

Current plans are:
  1. Run 4½” production casing
  2. Cement
  3. RDMO Rig 88 to Jeffrey City yard.

The list is getting shorter

Today’s video topic focuses on the rotary sidewall coring logging tools that were run in the hole (Part 1).
We ran the tool hoping to recover the maximum 75 cores, however; the core barrel jammed after core #45.
Decision was made to forego remaining 30 cores for the sake of time.
This video focuses on the preparation of the tool itself prior to being run in the hole.
Part 2 will be sent tomorrow.
In the Part 2 video, Steve Richards will explain more of the technical aspects of the process.

Below, is a link to an animation of the rotary sidewall coring tool and process.
A truly remarkable piece of technology!
