I'm a 3rd generation oilfield hand. Grandpa retired at CIG, Dad owned his own roundabout service when I was growing up and eventually went to work out here in this patch. He loved working in Pennsylvania but when Biden got in he lost his job. I grew up and made it as far as the derreks on a triple double work over rig out in the Kansas Oklahoma plains. It was the best time of my life. Hard work, great pay and good ppl. I lost a lot of friends to this job but we all knew the dangers and one friend was hit in the back with a set of blocks crushing him and leaving him paralyzed. He somehow came out of it and with his large payout bought a crotch rocket killing himself on a foggy night running into a wall. I have Bern in the oilfield for many years but I miss the smell, the long days/nights and the Mexican lunches cooked on the truck engines.

The show is informative, but quite misleading. Most new wells and frac jobs are 10-20 times larger than the well profiled in this show. The fact that the show calls out everything in gallons (instead of the industry standard of barrels) highlights that this is a reduced representation of the industry . This would be like explaining how airports work and operate, but doing the show at Dawson Community Airport in Montana, without mentioning O'Hare or Jackson Hartsfield.

Even the most important industrial products are made specifically for them to continue producing more & more. People in cities just enjoy & serve what those people bring to them. Yet, the city people are the ones who control everything and want to tell everybody how to live! Why? Because they have the Wall st.? Because they operate the phones, play sports, make pizza and movies? If Every city in America went in full strike mode what would happen? If everybody in rural areas went on strike what would happen?

Yeah? Seeing that we use it to produce the vast majority of products we humans consume on a daily business it's going to take a very long time. Ppl think it's as simple as just stopping production. You do that you stop everything. We have to figure out how to replace petroleum in products. Most ppl who 7 talk to don't realize just how deep this stuff goes and just how much of their need for convenience is going to be effected if we stop producing. I'm with you, I worked in the oilfield most my life. My highest concern is pumping the world dry leaving it ready to crack. Oil is like the meniscus between your knees. It helps keep the tectonic plates from popping. That's the real danger. Edit: read this as just a friendly chat no harsh tones were used.
