If you see any of my peeps from big red running open hole logs out there give them a shout.

Sure thing... are you going to make it out this way any chance? We just started working on this well pad. And where is this Mesa you speak about?

mesa is up near pinedale, north of rock springs about 100 miles. I have some logging jobs starting up on Tuesday that may or may not be out there, I will try to stop by if they are.

yeah its a shame. So far on this BP land job.. not too shabby. But i do prefer my deepwater rigs.

Never did rigs, I mostly worked in gas plants and refineries, but I tried to get on those jobs. I used to be a Millwright working mostly on reciprocating compressors, but I used to rebuild pumps and turbines also. I did a lot of alignment jobs now that I think about it too.

Well, I'll be here for at least another 10-14 days before i ask for a relief. It will be almost 5 weeks since i've been home and I'm missing my women and my apt. Should be interesting to see how difficult it will be for the local office to book my flight home.

Venezeula has around 40 oil wells or more and none of them are leaking. You might ask why we can not do the same thing?
