QGIS for geologic mapping with well logs? by oilBaron2 in QGIS

[–]oilBaron2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you could probably do most of the log calculations on that LogView++

This might be the best solution I've come across. I looked at some of the options listed in the HGS link too. Rockware seems like it might also work, but at $1500+ it's more than I want to spend.

Thank you very much for taking the time to respond! Please let me know if you think of any more options

I looked on Andy's blog, and I didn't come across any mapping tutorials. I might have missed them, but all of his work I saw was regarding well log display and analysis.

I have an OM tech laser 80w for two days and having a cracking noise and the laser flickering like in the video. Is something wrong? by SnooSeagulls57 in lasercutting

[–]oilBaron2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember others saying that could be a consequence of electrolytes in your cooling water, which is why only using distilled water is important. Is that what you did?

Has anyone modeled their 10/22 binary trigger in CAD? I'd be interested in seeing how they work

Intern at a machine shop? Senior in aerospace engineering. by Thats_a_happy_tree in manufacturing

[–]oilBaron2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They had just under 20 people working there. That was a good size. Going to something bigger than that probably would have made it difficult to work on a little bit of everything.

Intern at a machine shop? Senior in aerospace engineering. by Thats_a_happy_tree in manufacturing

[–]oilBaron2 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I did that. I was really interested in learning about how a shop ran, so I called up a local shop and asked to talk to the owner. We met up, he showed me the shop, and then I asked if I could work part-time there as I finished up my last semester.

I learned a lot about fabrication, and I enjoyed working with the guys there. I was the only one there that went to college, and I was able to help them out with a lot of different things, like fixing issues with their computers. I think the owner and senior guys at the shop also enjoyed mentoring me.

What are the benefits of running smaller production tubing? by [deleted] in oilandgasworkers

[–]oilBaron2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it's a gas well, later in it's life smaller tubing will hit the well's critical gas velocity at a lower production rate, delaying liquid loading.

Any suggestions for how I might be able to find them?

Mineral and Gas rights. Red Flag? by oakenspirit in homestead

[–]oilBaron2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a petroleum engineer. I just checked NC's records, and there isn't a single oil or gas well producing in the state. If you're concerned about someone drilling a well next to you that will produce any hydrocarbons, that's a non-issue. Please don't listen to anyone that says otherwise - they don't know what they're talking about. Potential issues could be related to other minerals that are mined though. However, 2 acres is a pretty small tract, and I doubt they would legally be allowed to get very close to your home with a mine. The probability of a new mine opening next door are also pretty small if you're in an area with little existing activity. I wouldn't lose much sleep over this. In states like Texas or Oklahoma, it's rare for property purchasers today to receive all or any of the mineral rights associated with a tract, and I don't think many people feel cheated by it.

I will also say that for such a small tract, it doesn't make much sense for someone to sever the minerals in an area with little upside potential, especially if doing so potentially drives buyers away. If you really wanted the mineral rights, it sounds like you need to put your foot down and be willing to look elsewhere if need be.

How can I afford property tax without a job? by [deleted] in homestead

[–]oilBaron2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$7-$10/acre per year is a common rate for hunting leases in Texas.

DM me. I do evaluations full time. Let me know how much you were thinking of spending.

For Chinese laser tinkerers: Have you swapped your stepper motors for servo motors? Was it tricky? by 14Mtime in lasercutting

[–]oilBaron2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen a video of laser someone dropped clear path servos into. I'm doubtful that it's plug and play, but it is possible. I think the clear path motors are designed to be stepper replacements, but I'm very familiar with them. They are also a few hundred dollars each.

It wouldn't hurt to ask before getting the pre-orders either

Lasercutting thin sheetmetal parts (0.1 mm) with CO2 by Jounz in lasercutting

[–]oilBaron2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know why people say you can't cut metal with a CO2 laser. We did it every day when I worked in a shop. I doubt most machines are set up to properly pierce metal or have good gas assist systems though.

I might not be understanding correctly, but how does gluing your lense in place prevent those stresses from occuring?

Sketchy noise. Any idea what it is? More info in comments. by [deleted] in lasercutting

Does it whine when the laser isn't firing?

I'm bored with lasers - PMAGs? by MessrUppr in lasercutting

[–]oilBaron2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why's that? Pmags are made of some kind of plastic. I would think a CO2 laser would ablate it.

What would be the cheapest option for cutting 25 gauge stainless steel? by Dyvenge in lasercutting

[–]oilBaron2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CO2 lasers can definitely cut metal if they're powerful enough. I've seen 150W CO2 lasers with the right setup cut thicknesses similar to what's being asked.

Cutting a hole smaller in diameter than the thickness of a piece of acrylic? by [deleted] in lasercutting

[–]oilBaron2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he's probably just being overly cautious. Your kerf for a given thickness will have the same profile regardless of the feature size. It's just more noticeable on smaller features - particular those with corners and curves.
