Went out to the rig today in Smith County to eat a little lunch. I used to have a bunch of cool pictures when I was working H2S safety but I deleted them.
Anadarko Plant, Orla, Tx. Trying to make one last time in weld in the scaffolding. Looked up and seen another plant on fire across the way. Kinda nerve racking because it was connected by pipelines
So my dad just landed from over seas and he called me to tell me some local guy overseas on the job site caught a king cobra and put it in a bag and brought into the office. Said the dang thing got out bag Poor guy sees all kinds of stuff over seas. He was up on the oils sands when that lady got eaten by the black bear last March.
He's got some pretty good stories over the years but I'm starting to think some of them are tall tales. He said one time the caught a massive hammerhead back in the early 90's and they sent a roustabout down in a personal basket to kill it with a hammer. He was also in Alaska in 89 when the volcano erupted and covered Anchorage in ash. He did show me some cool pics of Grizzly bears going threw the dumpsters up their.
What are they drilling in smith county? Used to be pretty active on the east side around troup years ago.
Just finished up a dual horizontal to the south of the current location before the rig moved to where it is now which is just east of lake Tyler east and we are completing another dual horizontal.
I'm a tool hand, but I hate just sitting in my truck doing nothing so I almost always get out and latch pipe on the floor or help roll pipe on the ground. I was standing directly under where the blocks landed about 3 minutes before the cable snapped and SHTF.
Here's a couple other randoms.
The last one is the scary reminder of the most dangerous part of our job, the countless hours behind the wheel.
