DwayneGorniak Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I've got a power point presentation similar to that. I'll have to see I can post it somehow. I still haven't figured out how to get damn poictures into the post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 That is one of the worst songs, ever. Actually, pretty much the entire collective works of Corb Lund and his band are pretty rough on the ears. Apparently they're called Corb Lund and the Hurtin' Albertans now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corb_lund_band Neat video though /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DwayneGorniak Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 This should do it. Most of the photos in this site are in the Power point I have. http://www.canadian-wellsite.com/ Go to photo Gallery and look at blowouts and mishaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Clayton Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 The captions are as funnier than some of the pictures, some of those looked like a wild ride for the operators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Amacker Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Jesus, now I know why the price of gas is so high. It's financing all of the F-ups shown in those pictures! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 A long time ago, during one brief sabbatical frim this most beloved of trades, I was "managing" a group of companies.... we were a bulk fuel and lube dealer, we also sold bulk propane, logging supplies (musical instruments, holiday trailers too), and various paraphenalia inherant to the patch/logging industries. We also did light oilfield hauling and hotshot work. We got a call from a toolpush on a rig operating north of us - We were to send one of our small trucks to Nisku to pick up a downhole tool. The following instructions were quite explicit for brands and quantities..... Canadian Rye Whiskey, cigarettes, magazines and newspapers.... The driver was to meet the helicopter at a particular forestry tower. The appointed time came - the helicopter landed and the toolpush loaded the whiskey, cigarettes and reading material aboard the chopper and left the driver with the instructions.... in one week, we were to return the downhole tool to Nisku. Life in the patch can be tough... this is man against mother nature... For those used to more urban surroundings, there is no way to explain how wonderful it can be to be "down a back road down a back road down a back road".... or to exlain how deadly this situation can suddenly become when we introduce machinery into the equation. The waste, through stupidity and or inexperience can be horrendous... but there ain't nobody else gonna do it.... Most of those that wont work in exploration - are too smart to work in exploration. And they didn't earn the name "rig pig" without good cause.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
