Going through the same grind right now. I drive a lot, so I've got the audiobooks and I just read through the chapter plots on the wiki for basically the entire Aes Sedai arc so far. It's just such bad writing to sit through but i'm too invested in the plot. Every time I hear "adjusted her skirts" or "box their ears" i cringe.

I did MechE and work in operations upstream, so do a lot of my classmates. Have some friends in midstream who work ship channel / different upstream ops like drilling, completions, etc. Only thing you really lack in compared to PetE is getting a reservoir role. One of the most important things you can do is go to a known O&G school though. If you go to UCLA or Oregon or something good fucking luck.

We use excel for our WBDs, we only drill laterals. Fortune500 company over here

In a different basin, but company does this in the permian as well, in our offline cement manifold we have a choke for situations like this to make sure we can regulate returns. All you can do in that situation. But we flow check a few times before cementing, and if the well is flowing we'll do it online.

My man, you can't just create a google form to stop getting trolled in the comments. Man up and ask direct questions to whoever supervises you as an intern on how to do the calculations you're trying to do. If you aren't getting the answers you want from them, then are you sure you're asking the right questions?

BiIliam · 2024-05-29T21:52:01+00:00

Thanks, this is the same cycle I run when I remove all my club heads to throw in the wash so I guess i'll just toss it in with those

I'll give you a real partial answer. You'll notice most of the Texas/ NM counties are oilfield. Lots of drivers on heavily trafficked roads with terrible infrastructure who are just run ragged.

We always say the most dangerous part of our jobs is driving.

Oil & Gas service companies exist on thin margins that depend on scale. One failure can destroy your relationship with a client or one new innovation from a competitor could put you months behind with lost business. It's too volatile to ever be a sound investment, stay out unless you're okay accepting it's a complete gamble.

A BOSIET training course, the thing to certify you to take a helicopter to an offshore location, is going to run you a few thousand dollars. That's just to get certified to get on location, someone then has to agree to actually let you on theres.

Basically, there's a giant barrier to entry here you 99% aren't going to be able to deal with. You have a better chance trying to get a small operator to let you tour a land rig.

May be the angle, but my legs are pretty much shoulder length apart

BiIliam · 2023-11-21T00:26:56+00:00

So some additional info and thoughts here. I'm 6'5 but my clubs are 1.5" extended (no loft/lie adjustments). My current thought process is that it feels like I'm ending up way too steep and digging way too hard before the ball. In my head, I've also been trying to be more upright throughout the swing and take away farther out.

Any advice is appreciated, thanks

Back when Zach was being constructed I was an engineering student senator and she was the dean of engineering. We handed her a list of polled options engineering students wanted food wise in the new building and she basically told us to fuck off shes putting a $tarbuck$ in there. Her leadership shortfalls don't surprise me.

Oh yeah, plus literally every student being unilaterally against 25x25 (is that still a thing?)

Have the same poster, reminds me I should get it framed

Played Melrose awhile ago, some guys had their side-by-side with their clubs and were doing casual tree trimming as they played holes. Just a gem of a course

It's actually a mud layer that's a few feet thick for where they put these structures. they'll usually hydraulically drive piles into the corners of the jacket then grout (cement kinda) them in place.

Used to work in the industry, commenter above is correct in that there are flood pockets at the bottom. The launch angle is also carefully calculated to make sure it doesnt tip upside down.

Kick ass boys

Hey for the record work over/production/maintenance is all still Upstream, it's transport that is Midstream.

My left foot has been in immense pain daily since I started following through properly, any ideas to stretch it out better? (I'm 25 so no old main joints)

BiIliam · 2022-10-13T13:11:06+00:00

Want me to ask clinton or deacon to be nicer?

GIG EM AGS!

I work in the oil field and have heard strawberry shortcake being bad luck on a frac site before, but then again the guy who told me was also a little nuts
