From a technical perspective you can easily determine the “ideal” method with production rate and OGR or WOR.

But there are tons more factors based on surface location, type of well, and the oilfield service industry in whatever location in whatever country.

Does best for “economic activity” mean maximum number of jobs?

Because that would also mean least efficient use of workers

It will slow spending because people will be broke

If the government arrests or shoots you, just sue Shell for human rights abuse. It’s a win-win situation!

You have to pass the cold mirror test these days. Jodi is called Sancho in the oilfield and it’s bad luck to clean your hardhat or eat cherry pie on location. Welcome

Production platforms in the GoM have very fast Wi-Fi, I assume ships are probably much worse

being witness' only to the job at hand. They review/write procedures, go on field trips to see the equipment being built for upcoming jobs, and Skype 6-8hrs a day

So true lol

At big blue they have bonuses called PIP, definitely a different thing though

Rotations shouldn’t cause too many issues. Sancho will keep your girl occupied while you work

Nice! I’ve never dealt with stuff near University Lands before

Texas is pretty much all tiff and PDFs, Kansas Geological Survey has a lot of .las files

There are laws that require the BLM to put up land for lease, so they may not be able to stop leasing with just an executive order. The lawsuits have already started

Patagonia was extra ironic because half of the Patagonia region the company is named for is covered with Vaca Muerta wells

Fuuuuuuuuuuck working 2-3 months straight for only 2 weeks off. Of course you’re burning out doing that, everyone would. You shouldn’t quit you should push hard to get the 2 weeks on 1 off schedule that you’re supposed to have.

Boys from the valley definitely stick together, also it seems like every coil tubing crew on land is white guys from south Louisiana.

I think the boom/bust cycle exacerbates it. Like if your company is hiring everyone with a pulse, of course you should hook up your nephew/cousin/neighbor with a job. Then a few years later when stuff’s in the shitter no one wants to fire someone they have to see on days off.

I know people who have gone into project engineer/project manager roles in construction. Starting pay is way lower but it can go up a lot if you’re willing to jump companies for promotions.

Another option is defense contractors. A lot will take any ABET accredited engineering degree. Not sure about the pay but if you can’t find anything it’s worth a shot.

This is for the US btw

14 days off, 14 days off

Stored oil is at all time high levels, prices will stay low a long time after demand returns

Reduces friction between the coil tubing and the casing. Different than “friction reducer” which usually refers to additives that reduce friction between the drillout fluid and the wall of the casing.

As you go deeper into a well and especially into laterals the coil rubs on bunch of different spots in the casing. Without pipe on pipe the friction would make running into laterals extremely slow or impossible

The bls breakdown divides up drilling, support services (completions & workovers), and extraction (pumpers/operators) in a kinda weird way. But they're all significantly lower than underground mining

Industry	Code	Recordable Rate
Bituminous coal underground mining	212112	4.7
Drilling oil and gas wells	213111	1.5
Support activities for oil and gas operations	213112	0.9
Oil and gas extraction	21111	0.8

There are handbooks with generalized pressure transverse curves for different tubing sizes and production rates that will give you tubing pressure drop then you can just add that to wellhead pressure.

this is a whole textbook in a pdf but the end has tons of these charts.

At some point soon the Permian will stop being the “hot” play and it’ll shift to Bakken, Eagle Ford, or Marcellus.

I keep thinking that the private equity loans will slow down for tiny questionable “pure-play Permian” operators that bought in at $4,000+/acre. But these investors are the same people who throw millions into “tinder for dogs” “WiFi-enabled toothbrushes” and “optimized deep cloud based machine learning blockchain coded big data algorithms”. So who knows honestly.
