Bales, How many acres is that farm? Looks like there’s definitely potential. Edit; The investment to get it backup and running is real. But a lot of the infrastructure is already built and in place. The wells and ditches are a great bonus. You will definitely have to have someone live out there, when you start fixing things up. To keep the thieves away.

[@lance4394]

@Trevor ---so many options-----Why would you spend over $1M to run a power line??? Buy a huge generator and huge skid tanks and convert the wells to electric??? Buy a trailer house and put an employee out there for free rent to run the wells and gates??? Send transport loads of diesel to keep Gens running until you can swap out for a NG generator . I understand retapping the gas line and you could make your own electricity? NG is cheaper than electric.

The main thing with any motor is having the right amount of power and gearing. You might be able to use a smaller motor if your able to get a better gear ratio. Or if anything just use less power or fuel. I have my wells setup that I really don’t need to throttle up very much. Also with how I have wells setup I mostly use 350 Chevy big blocks but I have a couple 426 Chevy big blocks to run similar sized bolls at about 350 to 400 ft deep. When I was using the diesel power packs all I needed was a 190ish horsepower motor if I remember right.

[@nmwelder6994]

The electric motors I have used in the past were 3 phase and at least in my area there isn’t many people who can work on those motors. Plus when one of those motors go down it’s hell trying to get it running again. But those motors eat power like no other. I have saved a lot of money by going back to natural gas even with the maintenance costs. But again with what your looking at doing is on a rather large scale and it’s going to be a higher cost no matter how you break it down.
