I once saw a work over rig try to test a squeeze job for over a week without success because the test pressure stipulated by the engineer EXCEEDED THE PRESSURE AT WHICH THE FORMATION FRACTURED!

When I finally got tired of listening to all this on the radio and “suggested” that the well logs be consulted before the next attempt it worked all of a sudden!

Obviously you didn’t get the memo. Engineers are smart, they know everything. They don’t need to consult anything or anybody.

Back in the early 80’s I think it was a Penzoil rig that sank in the gulf because Exxon engineers new everything.

I was an uneducated dummy so they werent going to listen to me.

We’re Exxon engineers. Our S@@T don’t stink.
