On several occasions, but what's that got to do with anything. Before we send our workers into a CSE we perform a test with an oxgen detector, fill out the proper paper work for the CSE permit which is only good for 2 hours. There has to be at least 19.5% oxgen if there's not that much we get gigantic Brandt wind blowers and clear out the area. Since H2S is much heavier than atmospheric pressure, it tends to settle in the lower elevations and the cavities on the rig itself. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Jr. left no suicide note. He did text his family and told them "I love you" The other football player that shot himself in the chest so his brain could be studied was ex bears great Dave Duerson. He did leave a note behind requesting his brain be studied. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Another example of someone who desn't have a clue what they're talking about. When a "Grass Roots" well is drilled down to the surface casing TD, it is drilled to that depth for a reason. We take our orders from the Engineer assigned to the well, the TRRC, MMS, BLM etc...they are the ones who dictate how deep, and what type or "Blend" of cement to cement the surface casing in the annulus with. It's highly regulated. I generally ask, and recieve permission for at least 150% more cement above calculated to cement my surface pipe, and intermediate/production strings with and I generally prefer to return at least 75-100 bbls of cement to surface and maintain 100% returns throughout the entire job on the surface job. Obviously they (Engineers) have their arithmatic jacked up, because we are obviously not drilling the surface hole deep enough and not obtaining sufficient FIT (Formation Integrity Test) test before and after drilling out of the surface pipe and begin to drill the "Intermediate" section of the hole after NUBOPE packages, etc.... Another factor that needs to be thought out is that the fractures we drill into are vertical, not horizontal, thus the reason we drill horizontal wells so we can expose as many fracs as possible while the production section of the well is being drilled. Here's the problem, for far too many years Operators have been getting piss poor cement jobs on the surface, intermediate and production holes. this allows fluids from the well to channell to the surface and go where ever. Fracing hasn't a damn thing to do with it. If you dont ave an integral cament job on each string of pipe you run, expect problems. Generally after drilling the well we set a type "D" production packer inside casing, it allows everything you pump go into the formation and isolates everything from on top of the packer to surface from getting the fluids used for fracing to enter the "Back Side" of the well. More often than not, because of the terrible cement jobs that are performed we get communication vertically from the production hole channeled to ths surface. I've had several companies try to strong arm me into performing shit cement jobs, but I wont allow it, I do it right, it makes the big dogs mad, but I've never seen my name mentioned in any lawsuit and it's not gonna happen, I'll "Put the drag" on them before I'm forced to do something that isn't right. The Deep Water Horizon had a really shitty cement job to blame for the entire incident in the gulf not too long ago. Too bad 12 of my "Brothers" had to be vaporized because of the Operator's poor judgement. The "Charges" you mentioned are done with perf guns and a wireline unit and charges are set off to perforate the casing to allow formation fluids to flow up the production string to the well head and be processed using all of the surface equipment we set before this part of the hydrocarbons and dry gas get to the surface. One can always determine how good the cement job is by running a CBL Cemet Bong Log) via wireline, it's just one more part of the operations that has been done away with because of the engineers not being old enough to know better. Most P.E.'s that sit in the office and design the well drilling Prog and casing designs are generally 32-34 years old and have never even set foot on a drilling rig and intentionally so, they don't want to be assoiciated with anything simply because "I wasn't there" Bastards, there so ignorant their balls haven't even dropped yet. And YES, hydro fracing has caused under ground blow outs, and mini earth quakes. Study the floors of the great lakes, that'll make a believer out of you, study the sink holes in Mississippi & Florida, that will only confirm what I'm speaking about here. It's high time we eradicate the moronic, tyranaical clowns in the 100 story buildings and put this stuff back into the field engineers hands, the problem will go away, I gaurentee it. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Don't forget your gooks, spics, wops, dagos, zipperheads, squareheads, velcroheads, micks,frogs etc...etc...Geez I can't believe all the carrying on about the shooting. They'll never get a conviction because the prosecution never had a chance to collect any physical evidence from the scene, and only one party lived to tell the tale, and dead men tell no tales. I say this case will more than likely end in a misstrail, or a hung jury. The eyewitnesses recollection(s) will be discounted as "hear say" which is non-admissable in a court of law. Doesn't matter, if I had been him, I'd of waited the time out in jail instead of being released on bail. There's a really good chance one of the racists radical groups will bump him off pretty soon as he has no money, and the officials aren't protecting him any more. He's done one way or another. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

No gand jury can be assembled RE: this matter, unless he's brought up on charges. To my knowledge he hasn't been charged with any crime so far. Thus the reason a grand jury (Which hasn' been conviened as of yet) has to wait for an arrest to determine based on the evidence whether the charges have enough merit to make a determanation whether or not he will be indicted. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Why did you just now remove my last post? I'm calling BS. Just b/c your a mod doesn't make you right all the time. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

I beg to differ. It's his elected position to lead OUR country, not HIS country....OURS. We pay him to do a job which he obviously cannot do. He's again, nothing more than a glorified elected puplic servant, nothing more, nothing less. he works as directed by the citizens, for the citizens. You know something I don't??. You can get the red ass all you want, you know I'm right on this one. I guess you think Richard Nixon's job was to lead our country as well? Really? we all know how that turned out. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Does no one else see it, or does the fact that 2 white women came forward 2 days after the fact an gave the statements they made to the PRESS Lets look at the report for a moment, it was raining outside, one shot was reportably fired. Who in their right mind is going to leave the comfort of their warm cozy living rooms, homes etc...to witness a crime after the fact? I say no one. Where I live there are people who go into the woods and shoot semi-automatic weapons, drink, get drunk raise hell, it's not like I go outside to see what's going on! IMO the two witnesses who came forward later are not credible, nor could either one pass a hearing or vision test. Smoke it over, that's all I ask. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Dead wrong one this one pal. It's our freaking country, he works for us, we don't work for him. He is nothing more than a glorified public servant. Mull that over. And it could come back and more than likely will come back to bite him. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

In before the lock! I smell a banning!! -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Why what an ugly thing to say. I tried to diffuse this rhetoric in an earlier posts. It tears me up that above avaeage intelligence people would stoop so low as to associate them selves with racism & vigitalantiesm. Like I said, no one knows what happened for sure, so lets let the facts come as they are discovered, then we'll let the judicial process do the rest. No need attacking eack other and making PA's. The "Shooter" (I won't call him by name right now, because that name hasn't been legally established in a court of law) may or may not have committed a hate crime/crime period, we don't know therefore we shouldn't be drawing to conclusions here, or anywhere else. Besides the shooter isn't caucasian, he's half german/half hispanic, so that makes him what kids? A Germanic? No more PA's, no more rushing to judgement cool out. As far as Obama making the remarks he made, he should have kept his cake hole shut. It will most certainly come back to bite him. He has no business making remarks about this case, or any other. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

The shooter in this case has had to be moved to a protective housing complex and protected by police due to hundreds of death threats. The family of Travon has the Honarable Rev. Al Sharpton calling for an immediate arrest and conviction of the shooter. I gotta ask ya, is this democracy? If it were up to the members of the slains family they would have lynched him yesterday. I'm calling BS on these people who are raising all this hell to let the wheels of Justice turn and the legal system do it's job. After all that's why we developed and employ it in these times of our lives. If they don't like something, change it the right way. That is an option to them. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Man that's got to be a heck of a way to go out of this lfe into the next. I'd hate to meet up w/ St. Peter at the pearly gates stoned. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Given your profile I don't think you should be worried about advanced canopy tricks just yet. maybe your a really fast learner? I've had close friends burn in at the same WL & the same canopy. Regardless of what you do, please contact a credible canopy pilot and take an advanced canopy course. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

I fly the Cyprus 2, I paid $1,500.00 USD for it. I will sometimes forget to turn it on, and sometimes I'll dissarm it myself, depending on the dive. I believe we all know no matter what kind of rig you fly etc...When you jump out of the jump ship, it may and could be the last sane thing you do. If your not willing to deal w/ that, quit. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

I voted "YES" I've long thought it needs to be reformatted, maybe not done away with alltogether. It's more often than not an "Abuse Forum" & wonders waaaaaaaaayyyy off topic 99% of the time. cpoxen publishes an excell data based spreadsheet that is always fairly current that could take it's place. The good thing about it is emotions are not included and he waits untill the investigation is concluded to report any data. The same way the "Incidents Forums" do not. The last episode the son of the gentleman that losts his life was abusing other users with foul language, while I completely understand he's mourning this should not give him a pass. At the risk of sounding crass if I were a moderator (and I'm not) I'd have to ban him from these forums. I know I certainly could not have gotten away with it. I've had posts dissapear, vanish into thin air with no explanation, conversation etc...Yeah ya'll know who you are. So I reckon if you get your ass kicked out of here, I'll go with you. I know these things keep me from posting here alltogether only to see episodes like this one. Man-o-man. The Rant In "Incidents Forums" by user name of leapdog. Moderators: Since he thinks this is such a fucked up social thing, delete his thread alltogether, kick his ass out, please. After this rant he started another thread in "Blue Skies" As for others thinking it's other's bitching and whining, maybe they like being abused? -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Yeah, and I don't even own one, let alone two. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. Same way matches don't start arson fires. It's going to be something else when the AG comes to a conclusion on whether the shooter in this case gets charged & arrested or not. I believe he has to be, he can't be no-billed, he has to go down or there will be rioting in the streets and more senseless killings. Too bad this has turned racial. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"
