One Drill Rig, 3 Fracs, One Workover Rig . . .
And a partridge in a pear tree.
We were kind of expecting a real jump in vehicle count today, based on our experience with last year’s frac gate, but we ended up with only 175 compared to yesterday’s 168 count.
But I do wish they would stop ganging up on us. As I mentioned the other day, I think a bunch of trucks gather up the road some place and then all head in at the same time. And I think that they call ahead to their friends inside and coordinate so that they all head out at the same time.
This is the only thing I figure out. Because I will sit here for 20 minutes and see nobody, and then suddenly I’ve got 8 trucks lined up trying to come in, and 6 more trying to go out. And they’re all bottlenecked right in front of me.
What I really want is one of those traffic light setups you see used during road construction where they’ve got a one lane bridge or something, and the lights just alternate, letting a few cars through at a time. That would solve a lot of my problems.
It’s probably not going to happen though, and for the same reason.
They did skid our rig over to the 3rd hole yesterday, and are now back drilling. Maybe that’s why they (and we) got the catered meal last night.
Which we had one of tonight and it was really good.

Dog came by to visit again today.
And unfortunately for Dog, Mister was outside with Jan. Apparently Dog likes cats and came over to Mister to say ‘Hi’. And Mister said ‘Hi’ back with a paw full of claws to Dog’s nose.
Jan said Dog looked like his feelings were hurt more than anything else.

Well, that’s the latest schedule; a drill rig here in front of us, a workover rig on one pad in back, two fracs starting up on two other pads, and a 3rd frac starting up RSN (Real Soon Now).
Don’t know where the partridge comes in though.
