My cousin and I show up and are told to pull production water out of the upright tanks. No problemo. 1 tank is all that's supposed to have water in it. So that's the tank I start pulling from. While I'm doing that a huge cloud of steam suddenly appears, its coming from the flowback tanks.
One of the check valves apparently washed out and allowed a huge burp of water and gas to come up.
So after this I get up on top of the 20ft uprights to get a measurement of the water. For every 1 foot is 20bbls. Well the tank that's not sposed to have any water now has 9.5feet! All that came up in the little burp a few minutes ago! While I'm doing this the wind decides to change direction and the gasses comin out of the tank swirl around my face. I feel dizzy and sick but able to get down and continue my job.
On my way back from the disposal however I finally got rid of that shit from my system...litterally! I ate a sausage and egg sammish at the disposal and some coffee. Didnot make it back to the location before hurling on side of road. It wawasn't the food either that made me do it. My cousin threatened to pull me off the job, I said no just gimme a few minutes I be good. So now I just gotta be more careful when strapping these tanks with their spewing gasses and shit. Still feelin dizzy 2 hours after it happened.
