To be honest I cant even think of a gas focused company anymore, even Chesapeake is oil focused now.

That was some of my coworkers at Baker Atlas. They were flasked tools. Wrapped them in dry ice for a while to drop the internal temperature and then sent them downhole.

E-Line?
eta Actually the former Houma base covered all the McMoran work. Not all of them made it over to Broussard during layoffs.

How many owners, or partners, of the Rockefeller well? Mcmoran, Chevron, Exxon? Some reason I thought Exxon had it in the 90’s.

couple of years in Cameron Parish, there was a very deep oil well being drilled. Some say it was 30K feet or more. Heard multiple stories about gas sands, etc, last I heard the deep well was plugged & abandoned. Also heard due to the depth, heat & pressure, the companies gave up, trying to complete, WTF happened? Thanks

I worked on the Lineham creek job as a Baker Hughes MWD hand for a few weeks.
Unit was the drilling company and as far as I know Chevron was the only rep on location.
We ended up getting runoff because we kept burning up tools. 300+ degree hole.

MLWD tools can go up to 400 degrees F and survive 30,000 psi now. It's common to drill wells in West Texas and North LA with DHT of 350 F.
I used to see 410 in the haynesville. About 50% of our batteries would crap out

They actually completed the Highlander well in St Martin parish. The well has made around 36 BCF of gas and probably recovered around $100 million dollars in revenue so far, but with a well cost of $358,000,000 they have a long ways to go to reach payout at $3 natural gas. That is a mind numbing amount of money to spend on an onshore well.

Jim Bob sank the whole company on those hand full of wells. Davey Jones in particular.

358 million for 29,000 ft onshore...casing must have been ridiculous...plus tool charges.

Higlander Deep gas well costs
Hopefully this link works. Just insanity.
7 million for a location. 40 million for tubing? Would have loved to be the pipe salesman on that job.

It may not be impressive but the memories are one of the good ones I can still carry with me today. Honestly any well that deep is remarkable. (Plus drilling over 5,000 feet more than the rig was designed for). Almost 6 years on that rig and was lucky to have made crew change a couple days before 4-20-10 unlike my brothers. Still don’t seem like it’s almost been 8 years. We all can still remember it like it happened yesterday. A lot of us have the problem of living with, what if we were there and could have helped, when honestly no one could.
Btw, didn’t take your comment as a bad thing. You’ll see I’m one who tries to get along with everyone. Life is to short to be mad about anything.
