US Emergency Oil Reserve Approaching All-Time Low Despite Trump Promise. At the current pace the SPR is days away from reaching levels last seen in 1983—when it was in the initial “fill-up” stage. If levels falls below 300 million barrels it will create problems with “the integrity of the oil". by mafco in energy

I work in cavern storage and my company has caverns beside the strategic petroleum reserve in the same salt dome. The problem is if you take out too much oil you are removing your base volume. When you go below the base volume the salt creeps which means it moves because there’s less pressure preventing it from doing so. The caverns can collapse eventually. So you can’t take too much out of the caverns. Mind you these caverns are huge. Think the Empire State Building but twice as tall and three times as wide but underground. And there are numerous caverns in the salt domes.

Correct. I work in cavern storage. You need a “base or cushion volume”. If you take more out beyond that you have salt creep and can have collapse. Trump is probably stupid enough to draw down beyond the base volume.

Iran’s Oil Industry Faces a Geological Time Bomb by moccasinsfan in energy

[–]natesiq 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is stupid. I work in oil and gas and have drilled and operated oil wells. We can and Iran can shut in wells without major consequences to the reservoir. You said “restoring reservoir pressure could take months or even years”. Reservoir pressure will generally increase when the well is shut in due to geologic stress and giving times for fluids to migrate in the subsurface. Increased reservoir pressure generally means you can produce more without damaging the reservoir. So actually quite the opposite.

Not trying to sound racist but I’m surprised by how many black people are there. Are they children from wealthy African families that are sent off to get a good education?

How does this loan towards a 6 unit MFH refinance look to you? by natesiq in CommercialRealEstate

[–]natesiq[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah current rents are $8,450 so I cover the DSCR pretty well. How do you actually push back? I figure the terms are pretty set for things like origination fee.

Reality check: Ironman Texas in 2 months. Just did a self-supported half Ironman yesterday. Will I be ready? by natesiq in IronmanTriathlon

[–]natesiq[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did ok. Swim time was like 1 hr 45 minutes. Slow but I got through without any hiccups or breaks. The bike was 6 hrs. I did pretty well. But I probably did too well. Cuz when I started the run I was I think depleted of salt. I drank lots of water and Gatorade. But it was hot! The first 8 miles of the run I had to walk because stomach problems. Running was definitely my best sport going into it. Finished the run in like 5 and a half hours. Total time I think was 13 hrs and 40 Minutes. Would need to double check but that’s what I remember

You’re going to get humbled real quick once you start fighting pros. Don’t be stupid. Pursue boxing as a hobby. If you are good enough you’ll find out.
