Some pics from work yesterday,We stood a 120'x 8" flare stack
We will use this to flow test a gas well it is anticipated to flow around 26MMCF/DAY and is 32% sour gas
Thats a monster stack. I worked in the patch testing and flowing back fracs and other crap for awhile but nothing like that we were all mobile
Wow 32% sour!
How much propane do you plan to burn a day??
Drayton valley area ??
Why so tall???

That's pretty crazy. We set flares and torches on most of the landfills I work on. Obviously we burn off the methane produced from the decomposing trash. You can't see the flares burning during the day other than the heat waves. Elsewise, the flames are "clear". At night, however, they put on a show.
Just random rambling here.... It must be really expensive to setup generators to run off of the methane and produce electricity because not many of the landfills are interested in doing that. At least not around here. How abut up in Canada or other parts of the U.S. Do you all see or know of any of the landfills that do this??? I'm assuming it's mostly due to economic infeasibility???? Sure seems like a win-win situation to me though. Get paid to have people dump their waste, get the fuel to pwer the electric generators for free as a by-product to the waste decomposition and then sell the electicity to the elec. company. Hard to see a shortcoming in that situation unless the setup and facility is just astronomically expensive or the going rate for electricity is really low.
Ah anyways, enough rambling....

Simon's day consists mostly of McRat Racing website surfing, and smoking cigarette's.:rofl: Well tester's also have the title "resters" because they spend a lot of time doing nothing. The service rig guys are always giving them a hard time!!OH! Well holy shit that's insane. I take Simon is an adrenaline junky because that has to be nerve-racking to do work in that environment with that kind of danger lirking at the other end of the well. Like's the the living-on-the-edge atmosphere associated with that job. Is it considered a "hazardous duty" job like a fireman, cop, etc.??? Sure sounds like it should be and certainly should be paid as such.
Yep, that is a kick azz job though. Cool gig!
