superheroes and fantasy
Billy Bob Thornton is welcomed back to Texas after his 2006 film Friday Nights. The setting is Yellowstone, and this is a welcome series of reality vs. Set in the oil field of the Permian Basin, great evidence so far! Interesting people and stories…
You need torque
Us oil field guys were shaking their heads at the inaccuracies of field life and blowouts/eruptions. The technical glitches in the first 3 episodes are embarrassing, and your tech consultant got it all wrong in the Blowout scene. An old stuck valve, 24″ pipe wrench (put upside down and hammered near the top? 100% wrong.
I’ve ever done that
no pipe Cheater tried first. No hammer unless brass hammer (i.e., no sparks)? No experienced downstream oil crew. I’ve never seen a countryman on site and hit his own finger.
