We just struck oil at a depth of 34,372 Ft. below the seabed(which is 3450 Ft. below me as I type this)

That seems exciting. Does it spew up like you see in movies? If not, how do you know you struck? What do you do?

Yes, David (he claims that's his real name) is the TFO champion of the one-liners...and now I've got that song running through my head...unfortunately I still remember every word.

So, Jackrat, do you get a percentage of the profit from future output?

Should we call you Jed now? Congrats!

That your career or a lucky mistake? lol

 

[jackrat]

Boy,I wish I got a percentage!It doesn't spew out like in the movies.If it does,you have big problems.The pressures in the earth can be unimaginable!Uncontrolled,it will come to the surface all at once,and usually ignites.I just works here.Got me a cement pond already.I go shoot some golfs sometimes too!

We run a tool down on the drillpipe that takes formation samples at different depths.When it was brought out of the hole it had oil in the sample pods.
