Here’s what my view looks like for half the year! That’s 18,000 ft of pipe we drilled in 7 days!

Yeah some days are bad but with all the new technology they make for out here, it’s nothing like it was 6 years ago. It’s ten times easier than before. Our rig literally has hydraulics that allow us to walk it with all the pipe in the Derrick. We have seven wells 20 ft apart and we’re on number 5. Takes us about 12 hrs to walk the rig and test and then set up to start drilling again.

Only time it gets rough out here. “Cough Cough” is when I run tren lol. Doesn’t work to well with me out here. Sucks so I have to leave it alone.

yeah it’s still tough work but it’s nice not having to kill yourself 187 hrs a week.lol If it wasn’t for the two on and two off I wouldn’t do this shit. But gotta make the little chump change I can.
