true i was a frac hand for 10 years i fracked in texas nd montana and pa and ive never seen an operation like this in nd just the vertical pipe goes over 10000 feet deep in pa we averaged around 5-7k feet deep vertical and 16 pumps
This country has an economic gap, the gap between those who work and those who don’t, those who don’t make an assload of money, celebrities, politicians, media people, and people just living off the government.
It's true. Production is taken for granted and sports pros couldn't think of what to do with the money agents give them. DC should regulate, because public money is used.
Well that's the idea. But what really amazed me: when do you say timber I imagine sibirien Flatlands and Tyga, When you mention oil a standard 4 km deep oil well of Yuganskneftegaz comes to mind. What we see here is scrapping for some firewood in the marshes and steep hillsides for wood and beggar-like scraping for oil with barbarian fracking!
Many Americans work hard and even risk their health and lives to do important work that has real value. They are forced to pay high taxes so Liberal politicians can give $Trillions to foreigners, Federal employees, and millions of other people who don’t do anything of any value!
Except that... The entire country of Saudi Arabia or the city of Dubai are (combined) invested in each and every fragment of the entire oil industry. Try to find me one single aspect of the industry; where 15%++ does not go directly to them. Isn't it great to see who owns america
The show is informative, but quite misleading. Most new wells and frac jobs are 10-20 times larger than the well profiled in this show. The fact that the show calls out everything in gallons (instead of the industry standard of barrels) highlights that this is a reduced representation of the industry . This would be like explaining how airports work and operate, but doing the show at Dawson Community Airport in Montana, without mentioning O'Hare or Jackson Hartsfield.
Not really we still do the small drilling, well maybe in PA. NY hates people making money. Do you know the size a drill site you are talking about would need to be? The enviromenlist would be all over them, as well as the loggers as how much of the forest would need to be taken out.
I'm a 3rd generation oilfield hand. Grandpa retired at CIG, Dad owned his own roundabout service when I was growing up and eventually went to work out here in this patch. He loved working in Pennsylvania but when Biden got in he lost his job. I grew up and made it as far as the derreks on a triple double work over rig out in the Kansas Oklahoma plains. It was the best time of my life. Hard work, great pay and good ppl. I lost a lot of friends to this job but we all knew the dangers and one friend was hit in the back with a set of blocks crushing him and leaving him paralyzed. He somehow came out of it and with his large payout bought a crotch rocket killing himself on a foggy night running into a wall. I have Bern in the oilfield for many years but I miss the smell, the long days/nights and the Mexican lunches cooked on the truck engines.
@dilblo fagbins so you think talking to me is going to stop it? I'm sorry but you are talking to the wrong person. Take your complaints to the boss. Also you are most doing very good if you use the products made by petroleum. I mean c'mon man.
People in rural areas and on the countryside produce almost all the essentials in modren life. Even the most important industrial products are made specifically for them to continue producing more & more. People in cities just enjoy & serve what those people bring to them. Yet, the city people are the ones who control everything and want to tell everybody how to live! Why? Because they have the Wall st.? Because they operate the phones, play sports, make pizza and movies? If Every city in America went in full strike mode what would happen? If everybody in rural areas went on strike what would happen?
Mike Rowe should do one on cell tower Technician. That's the field I'm in. Sometimes I wish people new what we did to maintain everyone's services for there cell phone and internet to work. 100+ft in the air in all kinds of weather
Mike and producers, you should like at the Contract security industry. Some Security officers are working 90 hours per week and management doesnt care about the low pay due to the junk contract that they agreed upon.
A majority of the security industry: Easily bypassed. Something as simple as the weakest link makes almost any level of security - not much more than window dressing
Industrial electrician here. Working at a refinery now. I’m one of the few who endangers himself so the rest of you can have an easy life. The thank you I get…. 60 percent in taxes overall.
I was a industrial electricians helper for 6 years and a underground coal miner before that. I got tired of working to make more money for the company owner, I now work for myself as a contractor and with the rising cost of building materials and the taxes I'm hit with, I probably give close to half to the government now. But I know what it's like to risk your life every day to keep the lights and heat and air on for ungrateful people that look down on us blue collar workers that keeps the country running. I personally want to thank you guys and all the blue collar men and women who risk their lives daily for the hard work you do.
"In any system of energy, Control is what consumes energy the most. No energy store holds enough energy to extract an amount of energy equal to the total energy it stores. No system of energy can deliver sum useful energy in excess of the total energy put into constructing it. This universal truth applies to all systems. Energy, like time, flows from past to future"(2017).
That's most of PA. NY too. We are not paved from the ocean to the river. Some of the best hunting and fishing here and if you love boating lots of places to enjoy that. Cave systems to explore, natural forests and In NY we have one of the largest State Park in the country. It's right next to the National Forrest in PA.
If you are talking about the pipe that was broken off it was simple. You use what the old timers nicknamed the fishing tool. Sent it down, pulled it up sent it down pulled it up. Oh and lots and lots of prayers. I grew up in southwestern NY near the state line. We had our own oil field on our property and Pennzoil plumped oil up and down our valley.
Everyone uses the products but most don't want to know how and where it comes from. I love the protesters that show up to the refinery I work at in big suv's 😆
I'm thinking gallons. Barrels would be over a million gallons if I got my math right on how big a barrel is. I'm thinking they put everything into gallons because the majority of people do not know what a barrel is. Most people I have ever talked to about it think that its a 55 gallon drum size.

I did not see anything about how they sustainability log. What is their growth plans and conservation efforts of species dependent on the forest timber.
Anything that is plastic or rubber will be made out of oil. That also goes for contact lenses which are made of plastic and chewing gum which has a synthetic rubber as it’s base. Chewing gum before had tree resin as it’s base, but in the 60s, manufacturers used synthetic rubber to save money.
Fracking has never been economical. It's subsidized by Wall Street (probably at the request of their masters in Washington). Why? Because the public myopically fixates on only a few consumer prices, so keeping gasoline prices down keeps everyone calm.
You'd think the owner of that old well would've already clogged it up. I'm not acquainted with the oil industry, but I think it'd be better to just do it instead of waiting and having bigger problems.
Yeah? Seeing that we use it to produce the vast majority of products we humans consume on a daily business it's going to take a very long time. Ppl think it's as simple as just stopping production. You do that you stop everything. We have to figure out how to replace petroleum in products. Most ppl who 7 talk to don't realize just how deep this stuff goes and just how much of their need for convenience is going to be effected if we stop producing. I'm with you, I worked in the oilfield most my life. My highest concern is pumping the world dry leaving it ready to crack. Oil is like the meniscus between your knees. It helps keep the tectonic plates from popping. That's the real danger. Edit: read this as just a friendly chat no harsh tones were used.
@Free Commercial It is definitely not just water. Ground and water pollutants from fracking include ammonium, barium, chloride, iodide, manganese, and strontium. Air pollutants include benzene, ethylbenzene, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen oxides, silica dust, toluene, and xylene. Also, according to the EPA, the fracking industry has about 150 accidental spills of fracking fluid per year.
I've had pressure cooker lead position jobs over the last 35 years, yet never once felt the need to spew disgusting ignorant filth. It's a matter of moral character and education, not how much pressure you're under. For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. So filthy mind, filthy speech.
u do realize how little chemicals we used most of them can be found in food and things like gum but i only had 10 years experience all over the country doing it go hug another tree
"...and without it, the world as we know it, well, wouldn't be." Is that a bad thing though? It could possibly be worse, but it could also be so much better. Without it, we'd have found alternatives. We're good at adapting like that.
You an idiot if you think we can force an extremely fast transition from oil to electric. You say nu-way is eco friendly but you don’t actually say how the electricity is going to be made produced and stored in an eco friendly way that’s viable. Oh because we have viable electric cars now that means all of a sudden we’re ready to transition everything else? You guys are delusional and live in a fantasy reality where you have no clue how things are done and ran.
