    I bought a skid tank to have fuel delivered right to the yard, local companies are just x over cost

    don’t think there’s a law about putting a fuel tank on the catwalk, my hydro tank is up there so I’m sure it’s possible to put one there. But I’m good with my 240 gallons, if you are trying to jump states for fuel you are just going to end up owning ifta at the end of the quarter anyway (more then likely)

    Cool. Worked with both. After I left Halliburton, I was with Casedhole Solutions and Reliable Wireline.

    I was mainly doing work for Conoco Phillips. Did a lot of work in New Mexico Carlsbad area and of course outside of Midland Tx.

    I did do some work for Casedhole Solutions as well. Rigged up a few times for them on wireline and coil.

    I slowed down to 65-66, getting 6.8-7 mpg now instead of 5.8-6.2.

    Oh, and I just saved a ton of money switching my car insurance... wait, read it wrong, they doubled that too.
