New World Datsuns...

So yeah, this has been an eventful night.

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.

Scary shit Bill, you should get yourself checked out for this.
I hope you are ok man

Doin better now.
I know better than to breathe that shit but it was like a perfect storm kinda thing.

Glad you are feeling better, Might do good to get it checked out?

Is there not some sort of gas mask or respirators that you guys could wear while doing this stuff?

There is...its usually not very bad coming out of the vent. But when that valve washed outand allowed all this shit to flow unchecked it got pretty bad.
We also wear cs2 monitors on our hardhats.

Ahh, good thing,the cs2 monitor must have gone off like crazy?

Yeah and that's when I got down....quick

Double post fail

I bet!
Scary shit right there

I'm surrounded by stooped!!

So, I;m at the disposal offloading my salt water. The dude in the lane next to me is done, I know this cuz his hose starts jumping indicating he is blowing air not liquid. He closes his valve and vents his tank. His buddy is standing there shootin the shit with him. Dude walks over and flips one of the ears up on the end of the hose on the pod, forgetting that he failed to depressurize his line! The other ear comes off and the hose flies off te pod and douches both dumbasses with warm salt water!! Wow dude, you are talented. Its either you are a noob ar you need some fuckin sleep!

It gets better....

On my way back to the location we have about 5 miles of dirt road. I mean mud road. Its been raining so the road is a little greasy but nothing bad at all. I come around a small corner and see headlights, stopped in the road. I slow down and am looking over the situation as I roll past. Mind you, I am on straight and level road now. On the left side of the road, in the farmers front yard is a nice muddy truck and water tanker. Dude drove off the road into the ditch on straight road!!! How does one do that???????? Fucker has prolly gotten like a 30 minute nap in the past 3 days. Its no wonder the locals hate us up here. I will try and get some pics if he is still there on the way out.

They(stoopids) are in the masses everywhere Bill.

had encounters with them all day yesterday

Show em how its done

So got maor info on truck off the road this morning. My cuz stopped and talked to the guys yankin it out of the ditch.
"Hey is the driver ok?"
"We dunno"
"What do you mean you dunno?"
"She ran off the road, another driver picked her up and took her to the yard. From there she hopped in her pickup and took off. Didnt call in about the wreck or anything."

There is a warrant out for her arrest right now.

Hmm, makes one wonder

Does too

PICS!!!!!


Been a little muddy lately




a few different views from atop the 20ft oil and production water tanks
Those are the 3 well heads on this site we have been on for almost 2 weeks now


Those are the cleansers. They send the water and oil to the correct tanks. Its not an exact science...


Suckin a load


Catwalk between the oil tanks. There are 12 oil tanks for this site, each holds 400bbls of oil.
