Timel lapse of drilling and fracking a well

Really cool/interesting sexy!! Thanks! simon

 

Very cool!

 

never gets old....awesome video...i take it that was halliburton doing the frac

 

That was Marathon Oil. Funny they don't have any jobs for drivers in TX. Only crude hauling in Canton,OH.

 

very cool thanks for posting

 

The frac crew apparently either screened out (packed the well bore with sand) or had some other problem. You can see that they had to rig down some equipment and bring in a coiled tubing unit in the middle of the frac. Cool video.

 

I saw coil was there before the frac and during but not afterwards. I know why they were there during but what were they doing before and don't they usually come in after frac to drill out plugs?

 

Looked like it was a ball drop and not a plug and perf (I didn't notice a wireline truck, but I didn't look to closely) They may have been there before the frac to open the first port. Sometimes after the frac I think they will just flow back the well and recover the balls that way.

ETA- Never mind, I watched again and saw the wireline truck. I also noticed that coil was there after the frac, they just rigged up on the other side of the well head. You have to looks closely to see the truck.

 

Ten four. I didn't notice either. I was confused for a minute.
