C-SPAN Cities Tour - Casper: Salt Creek Oil Field

Tour the Salt Creek Oilfield, which is currently owned and operated by the Anadarko Petroleum Corporation. Located 40 miles north of Casper, this oilfield was at one time the largest producing oil field in the world. Anadarko Historian Everett DeWitt takes us into the oilfield, explains how oil was first discovered here, and talks about what life was like for the people who worked the fields during the first half of the 20th century.

I worked in the field to the East over across the Highway, when they would do the Co2 push , our field got a rush of Oil, lol.. fun times! Except when Tobins Cow got stuck in our water ponds

I spent 5 yrs cementing these wells in Midwest dont miss it at all.. Be pumping into one well and half mile down road water start coming out the ground. Back in the day they didnt keep up with the holes they drilled so Anadarko has no idea whats going on out there they just do a best guess. That co2 is like shaking a soda can when it hits air it expands so what happens when that place blows ?

I don’t understand anything about the Oilfield Industry nor The Military. 💔
