Damn it must be nice to be close enough to a town to just run and get stuff lol. Usually the closest Walmart to me is an hour each way. And that's Elk City or Woodward Oklahoma. And trust me that's nothing to write home about lol.

If anyone is interested in a vacuum truck job in west Texas IM me and I'll get you the info to contact the Midland yard. If you want to get some experience with tanker now is the time with my company. They are not being very picky at the moment.

Just about the time you're over 40 hours you hop onto a new pay period. |

Good luck on the internship! Actually, I have  , two different types in person so far, one WFT Rotaflex and then another one that goes by the name SSI (Sure Stroke Intelligent) Lift. I heard the Rotaflexes may be a bit of a hassle at times, and haven't heard about the SSI in the field personally, but we just installed one maybe three weeks ago and it looks awesome. That thing as a 288" stroke length. What's better, is that we put it right next to a big old (ok, its actually pretty new) Lufkin 144" stroke conventional (probably a 912 or 1280) and we got to see them pumping next to one another. Man, what a difference in just about everything. Now all that remains to be seen is the reliability. Winters in Wyoming aren't all that different from those in ND at times, so it remains to be seen if the unit will be finicky. Any of those slow stroke verticals supposedly do marvels on reducing rod wear. I'll post some pictures when I get a chance.
As for those little cute ones, I fully intend on getting one some day for my lawn as well. You need to look in the Appalachian region, I worked there last summer and they were everywhere. Tons of history too, I'll post pics of those too. Lots of wood rocking beams, steam locomotives, line and shackle systems still rigged up and producing still. It's awesome. In fact, some of the wells still had Chestnut rods! How cool is that?

Things are still moving along where I am at. Within the last month saw some very promising signs of pipeline construction and new pads being staked. On the lighter side, one pad staked is smack dab in the front yard (ok, field) of a house I had hopped to build in the next couple years. I might end up getting a full sized front yard pump jack for free (as long as it is pumping that is).

Sharin' time... starting back east in the hills of WV...
One of my favorites from back east... follow that flow line...
Next up, a brief tour of a historical location in West Vriginia home to the state's first oil well. Here we have an old unit, a Spencer Machine and Supply pumpjack... 
Followed by a continuous pumping system wheel, much like the good old line and shackle systems you see in historic pics of California when derricks were still around, except this one is from the late 1800s and was in WV. 
I'll have to look around for the pictures of the rods, they're not where I thought they were or I deleted them... I have a batch of steam engines used to work pumps next, starting with a 1878 climax engine. One of the engineers around here said they still had some of the climax engines out here in Wyoming in reserve well into the 60s! 
A vertical unit to move the big old belts attached to the walking beams... 
Would be attached to something like this... 
Which coincidentally still has its original Bessemer engine... 
Finally for tonight, I leave you with the Rathbone well. They retrofitted it about a decade ago, and after 150 + years, it can still produce! Even after being burned up during the Civil War among other things. 
The original reducer and walking beam... 
Which was powered by this (I think it still works too) 
Apparently all this great history is kept up by a small and aging group of volunteers and could really benefit from a cash influx. It's worth a trip if you're ever passing through WV on I-77. Oil history museums are far and few between. I'll post more when I get a chance. |

Whatcha gonna do with it? I want one to put outside my office here at my house. I'm gonna put mine out side of my shop / man cave when we get our house built. I've been looking at ways to rig them up make them jack up and down. I'd love an old smaller derrick to put next to it but the wife would shoot me if I constructed one. The neighbours will probably be pissed off enough about the pump jack. But they can get boned. I'm not taking it down once I get it set up

In 2 short days I will be heading to Minot to look at housing and hopefully finalize a move. I assume if you are in the area finding oilfield work will be easier. If not it seems like many places pay WAY better than where I am now.

Thanks for the photos!! Very cool old stuff. That stuff is part of my family heritage.
All those wells had to have been drilled by cable tool rigs. A rotary rig would take 500' of drill collars and still just sit there and bounce in that rock. Many years ago, there was a time that I dressed tools, drilled and ultimately pushed tools on some old Bucyrus Erie cable tool rigs. It's an art to holding the 'rope' and feeling what the bit is doing down-hole...and when the hole needs bailing. I drilled numerous shallow wells in western Kentucky back in the day. A 'spudder' will make hole when a rotary can't get deep enough to put any weight on the bit and will just bounce on the rock. We didn't have hydraulic pull-down rigs back then. The last company I worked for, where I was drilling superintendent, was a small operator called Quasar. They had 2 cable tool and 3 small 'folding base double' rotary rigs (6,000' capable). That was back in the 70's. I was lots younger. As my great Grandfather was a pumper in Butler County, PA back in the late 1800's....this shit is in my blood. My Grandfather was a promoter and operator, and my Father was a Landman. I'm 4th generation Oil Field Trash...and damn proud of it.  'Merican Energy....fuck yeah!! |
